Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote has said he is not turning his back on the promised Zimbabwean investment, amid rumors that the billionaire had grown cold feet due to the country's economic slurp.
In an interview on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum on Africa here yesterday, Dangote said a team was in the country finalising logistics while another would soon be in Zimbabwe as preparations for take-off gather steam.
Dangote has already secured the requisite licences from the Zimbabwe Investment Authority as also confirmed by ZIA chief executive Richard Mbaiwa a few months ago.
Yesterday he stressed that he was not perturbed by negative reports about developments in the economy.
There were reports in some sections of the media that the Nigerian business mogul, founder of the Dangote business empire that straddles across Africa, had developed cold feet.
