Governor Ganduje Reconciles Dangote, BUA Groups
The two feuding industry giants, Dangote Group and BUA Group, have been reconciled by the Kano State Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje.
Both Dangote and BUA were at loggerheads over sugar related business.
The two companies are owned by Alhaji Aliko Dangote and Alhaji Abdul Samad Rabiu respectively.
However, in a statement Thursday , the Chief Press Secretary to the Kano State Governor, Mr. Abba Anwar, said the two industry chieftains have been reconciled by Ganduje during a meeting in the state which held Wednesday.
The statement said the two businessmen promised to avoid any issue that will lead to misunderstanding among them.
Part of the statement reads: “They all dismissed allegations that Dangote was planning to see the increase of sugar price, thereby pressurising BUA to succumb to the increment. They described the 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.”
Among those who attended the reconciliation meeting included Alhaji Aminu Alhassan Dantata; a representative of the Emir of Kano and Sarkin Dawaki Babba, Chairman of Nigeria Export Processing Zones Authority (NEPZA), Mr. Adamu Fanda and the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Mr. Niyi Adebayo.
