Nigeria is gradually becoming china dependent. It's a shame these morons allow china to monopolize everything. The amount of rip off china is exploring unopposed is overwhelming

Oh, for goodness sake’s.

The exploitative relationship you have had with the west for donkey years, you never complain once about it.

In fact the more they rob you, the more you love them.

China that is building infrastructure in your country for 1/4 of what the west would charge, are the ones you think are robbing you.

Colonial mentality on steroids.

That’s why they gave you a fake non existent white “saviour” to worship, because they knew you would overlook their brigandage once you regard them as your “Lord and Saviour”.

We must ensure Nigerians are employed. Employment is one benefit a nation enjoys when investment are cited in it, this creates multiplier effects that leads to prospering of the people. Nigerian government should ensure Nigerians are employed in managerial levels as well, high paying position not just as labourers.

Dangote Will still sell and export... With the current exchange rate, the new vehicles won't be affordable for the middle Class.

If Dangote really needed just to refine and export only , he wouldn't site his project in Nigeria... There are extra cost doing business in Nigeria, there is a large bereaucracy and a large mentally of "pull him down syndrome"..

He needs the naija market as much as he also aims for export... We have competitive advantage in the use of fossil fuel to power our lives.. let's not allow china with it's insatiable determination to dominate every nation derail our own very need

That's why many EU and North American countries were careful with allowing China to enter their market. Hope FG is calculative enough.

As far as I know China doesn't take bribes to conduct business aboard which is a norm in Naija. Back in their country fraudulent business activity/corruption is dealt with very severely.

[Wednesday, September 04, 2013

Dangote Industries Limited will today sign a loan agreement with a consortium of both local and international banks to the tune of $3.3billion for the purpose of constructing the biggest Petroleum Oil Refinery & Petrochemical/ Fertilizer Plants in Nigeria.

The plants, which will cost a total of $9 billion will generate up to 9,500 direct and 25,000 indirect jobs, in addition to reducing current volumes of refined fuel imports by around 50 per cent and effectively stopping the importation of fertilizer.

The USD9billion project will be financed by USD3billion equity and USD6billiion loan capital. Today’s g ceremony commits the first tranche of loans secured by Dangote, comprising a USD3.3billion term loan facility ed by a consortium of 12 local and international banks. This first facility was tly co-ordinated by Standard Chartered Bank as the Global Coordinator, and Nigeria’s Guaranty Trust Bank PLC as the Local Coordinator.

With the refining capacity expected to reach 400,000 barrels of crude oil per day and producing a variety of refined fuel products from local crude resources, Nigeria will cut its current volumes of imported fuel products by a massive 50 per cent. The 2.8 million tonnes of urea will be channelled into growing the local agriculture sector which is essential in producing healthy crops and promoting Nigeria and West Africa’s agricultural development. The Petrochemical plant will produce Polypropylene which is a common component of most plastic and fabric products, for example it is used in various forms of packaging, ropes and agro-sacks.

President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote said: “This plant will further entrench Africa’s role on the global map as not only a valued contributor for natural resources, but also a competent manufacturer of refined products and fertilizer. As a result, several African nations will be less reliant on importing fuel and fertilizer from foreign markets, reducing the negative impact of negotiating within increasingly turbulent international markets.”

In the same vein, CEO of Standard Chartered Bank in Nigeria, Ms Bola Adesola, added: “Standard Chartered is proud to the Dangote Group in a project which will significantly boost Nigeria’s economic productivity and create valuable jobs with specialist skills from key growth sectors. This project is an historic example of self-empowerment and leadership for the continent as a whole – and is made possible through effective partnerships between the Nigerian private sector, Government and international financial institutions. Standard Chartered remains committed to being here for good in Nigeria, and the region.”

Managing Director of Guaranty Trust Bank PLC, Segun Agbaje said: “this is the largest syndication by Banks in Nigeria and it is being undertaken with the knowledge that the successful implementation of Dangote Refinery and Fertilizer project will have far reaching implications for Nigeria’s economic growth”

Segun Agbaje further stated that GTBank is very proud to be associated with Dangote Industries on this landmark project and praised its Chairman; Alhaji Aliko Dangote for his steadfastness, hard work and genuine desire to see remarkable economic improvement within the country

The Dangote Group’s main revenue and profit contributor is Dangote Cement Plc (D), the leading integrated cement producer in Sub Saharan Africa and largest company on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. Given the cement subsidiary’s strong market share along with its higher profit margins, D has been able to maintain a robust financial position, and thus assist in leveraging the Group on a conservative basis to undertake expansion projects on this large scale.

Other participating banks are Access Bank PLC, Zenith Bank PLC, Ecobank Nigeria Limited, Fidelity Bank PLC. First Bank Nigeria Limited, Standard Bank of South Africa Limited, UBA PLC, FirstRand Bank, First City Monument Bank PLC and Diamond Bank PLC.

Lithium is a mineral resource, they will work with the ministry of trade & Investment for ease of doing business.
ejieddy: 10:08am On May 19
We should be inviting the US, not China. Trump had a mineral deal with Ukraine. They need rare earth metals. We will get a better deal with them, not the oppressive Chinese. Will they employ our Engineers? Will they give their IP just like they force other companies who set up factories in their country to do? We have the population, we have oil. It's time we begin to use those leverages. We may have lost our position as the biggest economy in Africa, but we still have the largest black population. Our leaders have to be smart in making these deals. Make Nigeria great again, MANGA!

Who said that I what the west is doing to Africa in general.. hmmm this guy is a joker. Listen I do business with China and I know what am talking about. Would it provide job yes it will but the dependency and deficiency in local production will be monopolized by china. At the long run your naira will be worthless cos you are not productive. Do you think you natural resources will be able to compete?
