Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa, former President of NECA, presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to the Dangote team, emphasizing the extraordinary impact of Aliko Dangote’s exemplary works:

“The name of Dangote looms larger than life for his exemplary works. I am proud that a lot of employers are here tonight. This is a great opportunity to catch up and build new networks. We need a lot of investments that would create more jobs and reduce poverty.”

Mr. Edwin expressed gratitude for the recognition from NECA, stating:

“NECA continues to remain a partner in progress, rewarding deserving companies for their contribution to national development. The Dangote Group will continue to contribute its quota to nation building and promote responsible business in all sectors we operate.”

“In the quest for enterprise competitiveness and sustainable production, we are all winners.”
