Business mogul Aliko Dangote has called on Nigerian entrepreneurs to invest within the country, emphasizing the untapped potential of the nation’s economy.
During a recent address, Dangote likened Nigeria to a scratch card, noting that the nation can yield significant rewards only when entrepreneurs actively engage and invest.
“Nigeria is like a scratch card. You have to scratch it to see the payoff,” Dangote said, highlighting the opportunities available in local industries, agriculture, and manufacturing.
Dangote urged investors to look beyond foreign markets, stressing that local investment not only fosters personal wealth but also stimulates job creation, innovation, and economic growth for the country.
Economists have praised the statement as a timely reminder for Nigerian businesses to tap into domestic potential, especially in sectors like agriculture, technology, and manufacturing, which continue to show strong growth prospects.
The message resonates amid ongoing government efforts to encourage local entrepreneurship and reduce economic reliance on imports, positioning Nigeria as a promising destination for investment-driven development.
