African’s wealthiest person, Alhaj Aliko Dangote said, on Sunday, that he was content with the leadership style of President Dr. John Pombe Magufuli and vowed to continue working with him and his government.
Welcoming the president and his delegation at Dangote cement factory in Mtwara, Alhaj Dangote said he was satisfied with every effort taken by the President and his government to strengthen investment climate in the country.
“It is a great honor and privileged to our company to have been given such an opportunity to make such a big investment in Tanzania which is worth US $650m” Alhaj Dangote told the President.
He added that his company was ready to continue supporting government measures in addressing socio economic challenges as part of the implementation of the company’s program of corporate social responsibility.
Alhaj Dangote told President Magufuli that currently the factory was producing 750,000 to 770,000 tons per year but this year production would be raised to one million tons and in 2018 the factory would reach its production capacity of three million tons per year.
On new trucks, he said that the launching of the 580 trucks has given new hope to many low income earners in the country because the trucks would distribute cement all over the country and would allow to be sold at fordable price of not more than ten thousand shillings.
