President Muhammadu Buhari and his Tanzanian counterpart Jakaya Kikwete have described the business mogul, Aliko Dangote, as Africa’s economic stimulant whose investments have sustained economic stability and standard of living in the African continent.

The two leaders were speaking on the occasion of the commissioning of the Dangote Cement’s multi-million dollars new cement plant in Mtwara, Tanzania and ground breaking of the 26 hectares Jetty which attracted top shots not only from Nigeria and Tanzania but also from the East Africa neighbouring countries of Rwanda, Burundi and Democratic Republic of Congo.

Tanzanian President, Dr. Kikwete said there was no better way of rejuvenating and sustaining a nation’s economy if not through investment which opens the door for job creation and opportunity for people to express their creative abilities.
He described the 3m mtpa cement plant as the largest cement plant in the eastern and Central Africa, noting that the investment is a huge one that would have a huge impact as well as bilateral relation between Tanzania and Nigeria.
