At Afreximbank meeting in Abuja, Aliko Dangote pledges to make Africa self-sufficient in fertiliser within 40 months.
Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote announced plans to expand his Lagos-based urea plant from 3 million to 6 million tonnes annually—claiming this will end Africa's dependence on fertiliser imports within 40 months.
The move is seen as both an economic boost and a political strategy, aimed at reducing FX drain on the naira. Observers note that while it promises food security and job creation, infrastructure bottlenecks may slow progress.
