Dangote made this disclosure to State House correspondents
at the Presidential Villa on Friday. “I
came to inform the President about our visit with Microsoft co-founder and my
friend Bill Gates. We will both see the President on Monday when we come
together,” he told State House correspondents.
Although Dangote did not reveal the purpose of Monday’s
visit, it is believed to be part of ongoing consultations Tinubu is having with
key leaders within the local and global business community.
In his inaugural speech on May 29, Tinubu promised local and
foreign investors that he would “review all their complaints about multiple
taxation and various anti-investment inhibitions.”
“We shall ensure that investors and foreign businesses
repatriate their hard-earned dividends and profits home,” he added.
