As the country continues to grapple with the economic
recession, speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has charged
President of the Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote and other industrialists
to exhibit patriotism by helping ensure that the country came out of the
current recession. This is even as Alhaji Dangote urged Governor Obaseki of Edo
State to adopt Lagos State’s development template to transform Edo State from
where his predecessor, Adams Oshiomhole stopped. Dogara gave the admonition in
the presence of many heads of industries and players in the financial sector,
including Dangote, AIG Imoukhuede, among others, at the Governor’s Ball held in
honour of Obaseki, to celebrate his inauguration in Benin City at the weekend.
The speaker, according to a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media
and Public Affairs, Turaki Hassan, expressed confidence in the industrialists
to make the necessary impact needed to re-engineer the economy, and appealed to
them to put their heads together to tame the recession.
