The Dangote Group has announced plans to invest over N3 trillion in the construction of 12 major road projects across Nigeria under the Federal Government’s Road Infrastructure Tax Credit Scheme, reaffirming its commitment to improving the country’s transport network and supporting economic development.
President of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, said the company views quality infrastructure as a critical driver of industrial growth, trade, and national prosperity. According to him, the projects are designed to ease the movement of goods and people while boosting economic activities in various parts of the country.
The planned projects span several states and include strategic highways that connect commercial hubs, industrial zones, and agricultural communities. The roads are expected to improve logistics, reduce travel time, and strengthen access to markets for businesses and farmers alike.
The announcement comes amid renewed discussions on infrastructure financing in Nigeria, with the Federal Government emphasizing the importance of public-private partnerships in addressing the nation’s infrastructure deficit. Officials have also highlighted the role of improved road networks in enhancing security, facilitating military operations, and promoting regional trade.
Dangote Group has previously executed several federal road projects under the tax credit initiative, including key highways in Lagos and Kogi states. The fresh N3 trillion investment further positions the company as one of the country’s largest private-sector contributors to road infrastructure development.
