Dangote advices Nigerians on how to make progress.

Nigerian Business mogul and Africa's richest
man, Mr. Aliko Dangote, has called for the
realisation of a healthy Nigerian society to
enable the country advance forward as a
developed sovereign nation. Dangote, who spoke weekend at the Summit of the
Private Sector Health Alliance while inaugurating the
Nigeria Health Innovation Market, NHIM, Steering
Committee, called for viable partnerships between
the Nigerian private sector and Federal government
to enable the country attain targets of the Millennium Development Goals, MDGs. "There is no way we can progress without a healthy
society even when you look at it from the business
point of view. Having a very healthy society is very
important and key for us to be able to move the
country forward. "I can see no reason why we cannot meet the
targets of the MDGs, so the private sector must
team up and partner with government so that we can
deliver on our MDGs," he remarked. Admonishing the private sector, Dangote noted: "It
is really very important for the private sector to
continue collaborating with the Federal government.
I see no reason why we sit down comfortably in our
air-conditioned offices and aesthetic homes while
we are losing about 800 lives annually. It is unacceptable. "The rule of justice will catch up with us if we fail to
act. Let's stop too much talking and begin to deliver.
No matter what is the innovation, unless there is
commitment, we will not be able to deliver. Dangote called for seriousness on the part of
government. He said government has to be ready
and willing to get support so that the deliveries can
be obtained. "It is not that people are not trying but
we need to be encouraged."
