The King of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid
Al Maktoum, has heaped praises on Nigeira describing the country as the
business hub of Africa and a potential world super-power
He made the statement during a recent meeting with Nigerian
businessman, Sijibomi Ogundele, CEO Sujimoto Group, when Sijibomi
visited Dubai. Their meeting was strategically designed to explore
investment opportunities and exchange between Nigerian luxury real
estate brand, Sujimoto Construction and top Emirati architectural firms.
Shiekh Al Maktoum said:
“Dubai is great, but Nigeria’s potential
is beyond our imagination. Nigeria would be one of the greatest
countries not only in Africa but also in the world with the right
investments and infrastructural developments. Her economy is developing
rapidly and her construction industries can match what obtains in many
advanced countries.’’
The Emir also shared his vision for his country, he said:
“Failure
is never an option. Dubai can never afford to settle for less. The fear
of failure is my number one motivating factor. I wake up each day
reminding myself that I would do everything to show the world that the
UAE and Dubai in particular would never become followers but Leaders in
all sectors of leadership.”
Ogundele also spoke about his desire to transform Nigeria’s building sector, noting that:
“
The real-estate sector in Dubai inspires me a lot so I desire to
transform the Nigerian building sector to match that of the UAE. Our
flagship buildings, ‘LorenzoBySujimoto’, are designed after outstanding
UAE structures. We intend to achieve this by bridging the gap in the
provision of exceptional luxury structures in Lagos, Nigeria, other
parts of West and ultimately the UAE.”
