President Bola Tinubu will on Monday meet with the Chairman of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, and Microsoft co-founder, Bill Gates, at the State House, Abuja.
Dangote made this disclosure to State House Correspondents at the Presidential Villa on Friday.
“I did not come to do much. I only 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.
He had last week received Exxon Mobil Executives; Liam Mallon, Richard Laing and Mrs. Adesua Dozie in a private meeting at the Villa.
In his inaugural speech on May 29, Tinubu promised local and foreign investors that he will “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.
The President also met with immediate past governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle, who paid him courtesy visit.
Matawalle, who said it was a son-to-father visit, also pointed out that the President has started convincing the world that he has what it takes to lead the country right and he believes he will be the best President that Nigeria has ever had.
“So far, so good, you’ve seen how the President has started, this not a new thing to him, he’s a good administrator, with good policies. He’s going to fulfil all his campaign promises.
“By seeing the start off of his administration, many have started believing that he’s going to Nigeria will become the best country in the region. We believe that Asiwaju will be the best President that Nigeria has ever had”, he said.
