African richest and Chairman of Dangote Group of Companies, Alhaji Aliko Dangote has berated Northern governors for doing little to end poverty in the region.
Dangote, who spoke at the 4th edition of the Kaduna Investment Summit (KadInvest 4.0) in Kaduna on Wednesday, said Northern Nigeria will continue to remain poor except states governments collaborated with the private sector to create investments and close development gaps in the region.
He added that his group was partnering Peugeot of France and Kaduna State government to establish multi-billion naira automobile assembly in Kaduna State.
He also disclosed that Dangote Group will be considering investing in dairy production in Kaduna state, saying the trend of importing 98 per cent of milk consumed in Nigeria at the rate of $1.3 billion is unhealthy coupled with the fact that the imported milk is unhealthy.
