President of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has thrown his weight behind Osun State multi-billion naira infrastructure plan, calling the initiative commendable and historical.
According to a release issued by the governor’s spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, the multi-billionaire spoke while receiving Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, in his office in Lagos.
Dangote commended the Osun infra plan and other developmental policies of Governor Adeleke, describing them as laudable.
“I have followed your programmes and policies,” Dangote said, “and I must note that you are doing well. Don’t relent. You must continue this path of delivery and service.
“We will support you. We will partner with your government to deliver on your infra plans.”
Earlier, Adeleke had briefed Dangote on the multi-billion naira infra plan which covers flyover bridges, dualisation of roads, complete renovation of selected schools, alternative water provision across 332 wards, complete upgrade of primary healthcare centers and construction of 31 kilometers of new roads across the local governments.
“We are here to update you on our programmes and plans,” Adeleke told his host. “We are moving progressively on the implementation, and we seek your partnership to achieve our targets.”
