Dangote says he faces trouble at work and leaves problems behind when he gets home

At the 25th anniversary celebration of Women in Management, Business and Public Service (WIMBIZ), Aliko Dangote urged women entrepreneurs to aim high and persevere through business challenges. He said he prepares to face problems at the office each morning but leaves them behind when he gets home to protect his personal life. He cited infrastructure deficits, high operating costs and limited access to affordable long-term financing as obstacles to doing business in Nigeria, and recalled the high interest rates that complicated construction of the Obajana cement plant. Dangote also stressed the importance of health and announced plans for a $2.5 million caprolactam production line in Namibia.
