Africa richest man Dangote interested to invest fertiliser plant in Malawi, says new Nigeria envoy
Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote is interested in investing in the agricultural sector by establishing a fertilizer manufacturing company in Malawi, Nigerian High Commissioner Designate, retired Brigadier General Stanley Diriyai, has revealed.
Diriyai disclosed Dangote’s interest on Tuesday after presenting his letters of credence to Malawi’s president Professor Peter Mutharika at the New State House in Lilongwe.
Diriyai told the media after meeting president Mutharika that they discussed a number of bilateral relations including trade aimed at enhancing the bilateral relationship between the two countries for the benefit of the citizenry in both countries.
“We have talked about a number of bilateral issues. As you know our High Commission in Malawi is new. A lot of agreements are being entered into including in the agricultural sector.
“We also talked about migration between the two countries. A lot of Nigerians are interested in coming to Malawi, but Visa processing procedures somehow affect that. In Nigeria now Visas can be processed on arrival, we hope Malawi will also look into that,” explained Diriyai.
Dangote has business interests in oil, sugar and cement manufacturing in a number of countries in Africa among others.
Establishing a fertilizer manufacturing company in Malawi would be a huge boost to the agricultural sector in the country where farm inputs are beyond the reach of many Malawians.
Nigeria and Malawi have had diplomatic relations since 1964, but only opened a High Commissioner’s office in the country Malawi in September, 2012.

This issue is not for discussion. He is welcome to invest in Malawi. We need home made fertiliser, so that we can get away from imported FISD subsidised stuff.
We call ourselves an agricultural country but have no fertiliser plant, what a joke? I have seen what Dangote has done to the cement industry in Zambia, quite commendable. You are welcome, and please also invest in our cement, electricity and food processing industries like flour milling.

Foolish man, I suppose you don’t know the place of Nigeria in Africa. Hatred will surely kill you. Nothing substantial to talk of other than hate. Malawi? Better an asshole. When has a butterfly become bird?
Yah Gobachov tell the fool!!!!!
Davie,
You are so naive. And depravity has has taken over you.
I wonder what Dangote is going there when there are unemployed Nigerians here.
Beware of these Nigerians who are only interested to come here to fraudulently acquire a Malawi passport and commit crimes in other parts of the world. Unfortunately, some unpatriotic and corrupt minded country men are so eager to aid these Nigerian thugs so long as they are palm oiled. Get ready to witness more sophisticated antics of fraud, money laundering, human trafficking, sorcery, Satanism and empty music invading mother Malawi.
Poor mentality! Who perpetrated cash gate in Malawi? Nigerians? Who afflicted poor education standards in Malawi? Nigerians? Who afflicted poverty in Malawi? Nigerians? Infact there is no country without criminals and thieves.
