The billionaire said further that plans have already been concluded to
construct a gas pipeline to address the power supply challenges in the
state.
“We also assured him that we are going to do a Gas Pipeline from Bonny
(River State) to pass under the sea (to Lagos.) When it is completed,
Lagos state will never ever experience blackout. There will be
electricity 24 hours a day,” Dangote said.
“There are quite a lot of things that will come along with creating so
many jobs. I think Lagos will be one of the fastest growing cities in
Nigeria and Africa as a whole. I can assure you that we would do our own
bit in terms of your efforts in policing Lagos, for security and
whatever the need is, feel free to call us, we would partner with you
and whatever you want us to do to make Lagos a better place,” he added.
Dangote also said that his visit to Ambode was for the purpose of
assuring the governor of his commitment to complete the ongoing projects
already embarked upon by his company.
