The Chairman of TG Marchnata Group of companies, Mr Tolulope Adeusi has stated that the newly built Dangote Refinery will present Nigeria as an attractive investment destination.
In an interview on Friday, the entrepreneur said that the refinery would go a long way in solving the fuel crisis in the country.
The Chief Executive Officer of TG Marchnata Group of companies commended Alhaji Aliko Dangote for his lofty idea and efforts of building the refinery in Nigeria.
“We need to commend Alhaji Aliko Dangote for coming up and pushing the idea of getting a refinery together and having to deal with so many influences that mitigate against the existence of such an operations.
“The refinery is one of the best gift any human can give to a nation irrespective of what people might have said about him.
“I think he has done so much in giving that balance.
“If you notice, the hope of the average Nigerians is in line with the availability of what the man (Dangote) has been able to resolve,” he said.
While noting that Dangote is an inspiration to young entrepreneurs like him, Adeusi said that he served as a source of encouragement to young people to venture into different businesses that would add value to the lives of an average Nigerians.
The chairman appealed to President Bola Tinubu to give leverage to the low and middle class entrepreneurs in the country.
He said that the low and middle class entrepreneurs, who have the ability to create employment and reduce hunger, are not enjoying the full support of the government.
Adeusi said while the low and middle class entrepreneurs were using their resources to develop the country, the “top entrepreneurs” who were enjoying government patronage had their money starched in foreign countries, as reported by NAN.
“There is no doubt that the President is doing enough but he needs to focus on the low and middle class entrepreneurs who can drive the economy.

“Many of the low and middle class entrepreneurs from north to the south need the support of the President to function optimally.
“Nigeria is a great nation with immense potential and resources, however, to fully realise this potential, we need to address challenges such as corruption, infrastructure deficit, and the need for quality education.
“I remain optimistic about Nigeria’s future, provided we need to continue striving for good governance, economic diversification and social inclusion,” he said.
