2 000 business leaders, investors and policy makers from Africa and around the world: the annual summit of the Africa CEO Forum is the largest international meeting of the African private sector. Two days of conferences, debates and high-level meetings dedicated to highlighting the driving role of the private sector in the development of the continent.
It's the hardest thing to do to withhold supply to clients but to serve that vision of Africa's self sustenance, it is paramount to know who is buying these bulk of gallons and to where...
Many years ago I was frustrated thinking why does Mr Dangote not build a refinery in Nigeria with all his money and influence? Little did I know that the man has a vision and a pace. Great interview and great question I particularly like was about the challenges he faced and overcame in building the refinery. What an awe inspiring story.
Between 22:00 & 23:40, I noticed some many of the white boys refusing to clap. Well, you said Africa will not rise, that's because you don't know how determined we are to fly and soar high. Make the best use of what you have been exploiting so far, big daddy is wide awake. We aren't going to tolerate any form of paternalistic behaviour from the west or east no more. Take note. There are thousands of Dangote's, waiting to erupt, in the coming years.
African leaders are shameless, you make it difficult for Africans to travel in our continent but easy for the colonialists, what's going on in the Sahel region must spread to the rest of Africa there's meaningful leadership currently
Aliko name should be first before Patrick's, he holds more ground and value to us than a foreign company who has helped in exploiting our resources and potential with all due respect. Yet it seems the colonial mentality is still there. This is the richest man in Africa we talking about with the biggest conglomerate and one of the biggest refinery in the world, sitting next to who? an oil company CEO?
I am a Gambian 🇬🇲 Our country is surrounded almost entirely by Senegal 🇸🇳 yet we are locked in a constant trade war with them. Talk less of Ecowas Talk less of Africa free trade
C’est écœurant qu’un événement pareil n’intéresse pas la plupart des jeunes africains. Pour ma part il me faut d’apprendre l’anglais. Ce devenu plus qu’une langue, c’est un outil d’intégration.
Great discussion with spot-on analysis from the panelist. The goals outlined are in line with some of the targets we've set for ourselves with sports karate here in Nigeria.
An insightful forum by all standards. Listening to Dangote and Pouyanne has made me realise a lot of these big guys don't just pump money into what they do, but they actually study and know what it is they're investing in. Congrats to the team that organised this 🥂.
Nigeria has the largest oil reserves, but it imports gas, diesel, and jet fuel from Europe. Essentially, they export crude oil and then import back refined products due to the government's inability to invest money in building a refinery. Many thanks to Mr. Dangote.
@@davidkantia9430 Tout à fait. Et c’est le rôle de l’état d’avoir la créativité nécessaire pour les faire rentrer dans un cadre institutionnel qui va les formaliser et leur permettre d’avoir accès à du crédit pour développer leur activité, embaucher des gens, payer leurs impôts, etc.
Nigerian politicians need to listen to complaints of the ceo of total energies, they have to understand that instability in policy making is really the problem we are facing the biggest economic problem we have…..Nigerians need to elect a lawmaker that’s stable in the head, we all need to contribute immensely to the development of Africa….inconsistent policies need to be stopped, it’s killing Africa…politicians are killing us… they need to stop
