18th December,2025
The Kano Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines, and Agriculture (KCCIMA) hereby issues the following resolutions in support of Nigerian investors, particularly Alhaji Aliko Dangote, and calls for enhanced protection and encouragement of domestic investments for the overall stability of Nigeria’s economy and security.
- Dangote Group’s Role in Job Creation and Economic Stability
The Dangote Group is the largest non-governmental employer in Nigeria, contributing significantly to job creation and business opportunities. This is especially critical at a time when unemployment is linked to increasing security challenges. Nigerian businesses like Dangote Group are essential for national development and should be supported.
- Protection for Nigerian Investors
KCCIMA calls on the Federal Government to continue protecting Nigerian investors like Dangote. Ensuring their security will create a stable environment that attracts both local and foreign investments, which are key to strengthening the economy and creating more jobs.
- Support for Domestic Petroleum Production
Dangote’s investment in petroleum production has contributed significantly to the reduction of the US dollar exchange rate and improved forex stability. KCCIMA urges the government to support Dangote’s efforts by preventing unnecessary imports of petroleum products and allowing local producers to meet domestic demand.
- Addressing Concerns of Monopoly
If there are concerns about market monopoly, KCCIMA proposes that the government should revitalize the country’s existing refineries or issue additional licenses to other private investors. This will ensure healthy competition without discouraging investments. Bureaucracy and political interference should not hinder investment, as this could scare off potential investors.
- Transparency and Accountability in Addressing Corruption Allegations
KCCIMA calls for transparency and a thorough investigation into ongoing corruption allegations within the country. A clear and open report should be provided on recovered assets and actions taken to prevent further corruption, ensuring that investors continue to have confidence in the country’s governance.
Conclusion: Call for Action
The Kano Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines, and Agriculture urges the Federal Government to create a conducive environment for local businesses to thrive. By protecting and encouraging Nigerian investors, Nigeria can enhance its economic self-sufficiency, create jobs, and reduce security risks.
