Nigerian billionaire, Aliko Dangote is set to provide the country’s commercial hub, Lagos State with 24-hour power supply.
Dangote disclosed this during a meeting with Governor Akinwunmi Ambode on Wednesday, June 10, 2015.
The
billionaire said further that plans have already been concluded to
construct a gas pipeline to address the power supply challenges in the
state.
“We also assured him that we are going
to do a Gas Pipeline from Bonny (River State) to pass under the sea (to
Lagos.) When it is completed, Lagos state will never ever experience
blackout. There will be electricity 24 hours a day,” Dangote said.
“There
are quite a lot of things that will come along with creating so many
jobs. I think Lagos will be one of the fastest growing cities in Nigeria
and Africa as a whole. I can assure you that we would do our own bit in
terms of your efforts in policing Lagos, for security and whatever the
need is, feel free to call us, we would partner with you and whatever
you want us to do to make Lagos a better place,” he added.
Dangote
also said that his visit to Ambode was for the purpose of assuring the
governor of his commitment to complete the ongoing projects already
embarked upon by his company.
