Enoh hails Dangote as Nigeria’s industrial champion

The Minister of State for Industry, John Enoh, has described Aliko Dangote as Nigeria’s “foremost industrialist” and the driving force behind the successful launch of the Nigeria Industrial Policy (NIP), even as he disclosed that his ministry was targeting a rise in manufacturing’s contribution to gross domestic product (GDP) to about 20 per cent by 2030 and 25 per cent by 2035.” Dangote also threw his weight behind Tinubu’s ambition to grow Nigeria into a $1 trillion economy, declaring that his own conglomerate had carved out a $100 billion target from that vision by 2030.

Responding, Aliko Dangote, Founder and President/Chief Executive of Dangote Industries Limited, commended President Bola Tinubu for appointing Enoh to the industry portfolio, describing the minister’s commitment to the sector as unmatched by his predecessors.
