Chairman of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote Addressing a team of business executives from Lagos Business School (LBS) on Saturday, said: The coalition of Northern youth who gave Igbos
an ultimatum to leave the region before the 1st of October 2017, did so
because they were unemployed.
The billionaire decried the ultimatum, referring to the coalition as irrelevant.
“Some guys who have no relevance and values came out to issue a
warning that Igbo should leave the North. I am surprised everybody
started talking about this nonsense. Why are we talking about it?
Obviously, in a place where there is a lot of joblessness, it is
expected that this kind of jobless people would come out with all sorts
of anger.
“We understand the reasons why they are angry, but they cannot
justify their action when they have decided not to work. They only issue
senseless warning to keep themselves relevant,” he said.
According to The Nation,
the team from LBS visited his refinery and petrochemical projects in
Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos, where they discussed unemployment in the country.
“What keeps me awake at nights is not really the enormity of business
ideas running through my mind, but it is actually high rate of
unemployment in the country. It is an eyesore and I think we have
collective responsibility to solve this problem,” he said
