Nigerian University vice chancellors, under the auspices of Committee of Vice-Chancellors who were at the Dangote Fertiliser plant on a familiarisation visit over the weekend, marveled at the huge financial resources invested in the Plant.

The university heads unanimously agreed that Dangote should be specially recognised for his contribution on agricultural revolution in Nigeria, through his fertiliser project.

Secretary of Committee of Vice-Chancellors of Nigeria, Prof. Yakubu Ochefu, said all Nigeria needed for real growth and development in all sectors of the economy was just to have five of Aliko Dangotes.

He urged other Nigerian billionaires to take a cue from Dangote and invest heavily in manufacturing, to significantly reduce the high unemployment rate among the youth and ameliorate the sufferings of many Nigerians.

Speaking after the tour of the Fertiliser Plant, vice chancellor of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Prof. Nnenna Oti described the Plant as impressive and lauded the synergy between Lagos State Government and Aliko Dangote, a man from Kano State, describing the union as what Nigeria should really represent.

She said: “this plant is quite impressive. We wish we had more Nigerians who are investing in our country, creating opportunities and solving real problems as well as giving back to society as Aliko Dangote is doing.”

Vice chancellor of the Lagos State University (LASU), Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, expressed satisfaction at the operations in the factory, noting that the three million tonnes of granulated Urea factory would go a long way in solving the food problems in Nigeria. 

In the same vein, the vice chancellor of the University of Jos, Tanko Ishaya, urged the federal government to specially recognise Aliko Dangote, as he has braved the odds to provide real solution to one of the key problems, facing the country: food security.

He said: “we have all gone round the factory and I must confess that this is a fantastic environment, and we want to congratulate the President of Dangote Group for having that vision and for implementing the vision.”

Managing director/CEO, Dangote Fertiliser Limited, Vishawajit Sinha, revealed that, the Plant, which has the capacity to turn out more than 4,500 tonnes of urea per day, will conveniently meet the local demand and even produce for exports.

According to him, “we have the capacity to turn out 4,500 tonnes of Urea every day, this is a bulk application fertiliser, each crop in Nigeria or globally will require Nitrogen and this is a rich fertiliser, having 46 per cent nitrogen. The company has the capacity to meet local demand and export to African countries.”

The plant, which is the largest granulated Urea fertiliser complex in Africa, occupies 500 hectares of land, was built at a cost of $2.5 Billion, and is expected to reduce drastically level of unemployment and youth restiveness in the country through employment opportunities. 

The plant is expected to generate new jobs with top quality fertiliser being available and in sufficient quantities for the farmers.
