Following the successful commissioning of the Dangote Cement six million tons per annum capacity Ibese Cement plant, no fewer than 10 State governors have expressed their desire to lure the President of Dangote Group, Alhaji Alijko Dangote to invest in their respective state.

Speaking with newsmen at the weekend, the governors who were among the dignitaries at the opening ceremony commended the business ingenuity of Alhaji Dangote and said they would do all within their power to prevail on the business mogul to consider investments in their States, saying that would be the only way to grow the economy of their people.

Some of the governors who claimed to have opened discussions with Alhaji Dangote said lack of gainful employment among the people was a major challenge being confronted by them in the task of providing good governance to their people and explained that Alhaji Dangote has proved more than able to help in this regard to achieve their economic agenda. Governors who expressed the desire to drag Alhaji Dangote to their States include, Mr Peter Obi, Anambra State, Isa Yuguda, Bauchi State, Adams Oshiomhole, Edo state, Kayode Fayemi, Ekiti State, and Alhaji Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State among others.
