Africa’s richest man, Alhaji
Aliko Dangote, has declared that doing business in Nigerian cities is hell.
He described Lagos as the most
convenient and peaceful state for doing business.
He said this during questions and
answers session with journalists in Lagos.
He said, “I am not advertising
for Lagos, but try another state, you will see hell,’’ he said in a terse
remark at the forum of ‘Lagos Means Business.’
“You should pay your taxes to
Lagos state.”
During the session, Governor
Akinwunmi Ambode had earlier assured people of the state that he would make
their taxes work for them with a transparent and incorruptible government with
good value for taxes paid. “We are not true citizens until we become
responsible tax payers.
The Governor added, “If the
vision of a prosperous Lagos is to be achieved, the State must retreat from
borrowing to finance its infrastructure and pay back later in the future with
high interest rate.
“The good part of the arguments
trailing the Lagos Land Use Charge is that the State Government is ready for
dialogue and will welcome the complaints of dissatisfied members of the public
in this regards.
“The good part of the arguments
trailing the Lagos Land Use Charge is that the State Government is ready for
dialogue.
