Sanwo-Olu claimed in a statement published on X that the Ikeja plant, which can build 10,000 trucks a year, can employ roughly 3,000 people in Nigeria.
Sanwo-Olu said,
“Today, I joined the President of the Senate, Hon. Godswill Akpabio for the commissioning of the CKD plant at Dangote Sinotruk West Africa Limited in Ikeja.”
“With the capacity to assemble and produce 10,000 trucks annually, Dangote Sinotruk West Africa is set to create about 3,000 jobs across Nigeria.
“Congrats to Alhaji Aliko Dangote for his remarkable efforts towards industrialisation in Nigeria and Africa.”
Akpabio and Sanwo-Olu visited the Dangote refinery in Lekki, a part of Lagos state, on June 8.
Sanwo-Olu stated during the trip that it was an honour that the refinery was built in “our time, our state, and our country.”
He added,
“People talk about dreams, but only a few can make it happen. Dangote has put Lagos State and the whole of Nigeria on the world map of excellence.”
“I am happy the Senate came to see for themselves; Dangote was not ready to rest after successfully building the largest cement factory chain in Africa, the second largest sugar refinery in the world.”
Sanwo-Olu added that he is confident Nigeria is on track to achieve its estimated $1 trillion GDP by 2030 with an investment such as the refinery.
