Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, has said his company should be able to generate about 12,000 megawatts of electricity for the country by 2018.
“Our gas project would have our gas pipelines on the seabed. The output should be able to provide about 12,000MW of power. We see a lot of transformation when we are done with most of our projects by 2018.
“We are looking at a situation that by 2020, we will be the one selling FX to the CBN. Our projects are mainly import substitution. We are working to be self-sufficient to grow about a million tonnes of rice over the next five years," he said.
He spoke in Lagos on Monday at the Nigerian Economic Summit organised by Economist Events, an arm of The Economist of London.
