“I have said it before that when we think of West Africa and Africa before our individual countries, we are not just being pan-Africanists, we are being true nationalists, because what makes West Africa, and, indeed Africa, better, will make each of our individual countries better and more prosperous.
This spectacular project, the Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical Complex, does exactly that – makes West Africa better and stronger – and I congratulate this distinguished, patriotic son of Africa for the sheer brilliance of this initiative.
The truth is that successful economies depend largely on entrepreneurs running successful businesses. We need to push vigorously, in West Africa, the culture of entrepreneurship, so that we can grow our economies, and become prosperous. There is no greater symbol of entrepreneurship in the 21st century in West Africa, and, indeed, in Africa, than this iconic Nigerian entrepreneur, easily the equal of the celebrated entrepreneurs of our generation, such as Musk, Gates, Page, Bezos and Zuckerberg”.
