This
was said by the chief strategist of the multi-billion dollar company, Abdu
Mukhtar, who is currently in the southern African country's capital Harare.
According
to a Herald report, Mukhtar said the group felt "comfortable and
excited" about investing in the country.
"Everything
is on track... we will be coming in and out [of Zimbabwe] to do all sorts of
things as we kick start the projects," Mukhtar was quoted as saying.
Owner
of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, indicated in August last year that he planned
mining and power generation projects in the investment-starved Zimbabwe,
as well as to set up a large cement factory.
The
Nigerian billionaire said he would spend close to $400m on the cement plant,
which will produce a million and half tons of cement a year, making it the
biggest in country.
Dangote
said this after he met with President Robert Mugabe.
He
said the investment package would create jobs and "help Zimbabwe to
develop their own economy".
