Ganduje Wades Into Dispute Between Dangote, BUA

Kano State governor, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje with the support
of business mogul, Alhaji Aminu Alhassan Dantata, Kano Emirate and
the Kano State Council of Imams, have reconciled the differences
between two illustrious sons of Kano, Aliko Dangote and Abdussamad
Isyaka Rabi’u (BUA).

According to a statement signed by Chief Press Secretary to the
governor, Comrade Abba Anwar, on Thursday disclosed that the
reconciliation meeting took place at Kano Governor’s Lodge,
Asokoro, Abuja on Wednesday. This he said should put a stop to all
rumours making the rounds that the duo was in dispute over the
sugar industry in the country.

The statement further disclosed that both parties, the chairman
of Dangote Group of Companies and the chairman BUA Group of
Companies, agreed to work together to satisfy the demand for sugar
in the country.

However, the statement dismissed the allegation that Dangote was
planning to increase the price of sugar, and was pressuring BUA to
succumb to the increment.

The statement described that allegation as baseless and lacking
any iota of truth.

The meeting was seen as the zenith of other similar efforts to
reconcile the two giants by the governor.

Alhaji Aminu Alhassan Dantata played the role of a father during
the meeting.

Present at the meeting were the Minister for Commerce, Trade and
Investment, Mr Niyi Adebayo; representative of the Kano Emirate,
Alhaji Aminu Babba Dan Agundi; chairman of the Council of Kano
Imams, Sheikh Muhammad Nasir Adam; the Chief Imam of Sheikh Ahmadu
Tijjani Friday Mosque, Kofar Mata Kano, and the chairman of NEPZA,
Adamu Panda.

The two business moguls agreed to work together as brothers for
the growth and development of the nation at large, assuring that,
henceforth, there would be no differences that will cause any
disharmony between them.
