The Dangote Group will serve as the required catalyst to deliver goods and services that will ultimately transform the Nigeria economy.
This was disclosed by Mr. Francis Awowole-Browne of the Dangote Group while speaking at the conferment of an award of excellence on Dangote Group by the Lagos state Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ).
Mr Awowole Browne stressed that the award will serve as a call to better partnership with the NUJ members in the task of building a better Nigeria that can hold its own in the comity of nations.
” The Dangote Group has continued to garner global recognition through its expansion into other countries. These accomplishments are a clear demonstration of the Group’s resolve to be the number one in Africa in meeting the needs of the people,” he said.
Chairman of Lagos State Council of NUJ, Mr. Adeleye Ajayi, said the Council set aside the Gala Nite to reflect on its major landmarks, roll out the drums, and celebrate excellence by recognising those individuals and organizations, who have made the journey eventful for the Council over the years.
The Lagos NUJ chairman said the award was because of Dangote’s aggressive employment generation drive, which has seen thousands of able youths gainfully employed in the Group as well as the commitment to provision of critical infrastructure.
