Dangote Saves 3,000 Nigerian Jobs After Buying Back Former Subsidiary


Africa's richest man is making good his promise to help Nigerian government in its efforts to sustain development and relief the burden on the suffering masses as it makes another milestone.
Aliko Dangote
 
Dangote Industries Limited (DIL) has explained why it bought back its former subsidiary, Tiger Branded Consumer Goods (TBCG). It said its action is to prevent the company from dying and also save the job of over 3,000 Nigerians, reports The Nation.
 
According to the report, DIL was approached by Tiger Brands to acquire its 65.7 per cent shares of TBCG Limited. While some stakeholders have questioned the rationale behind the investment decision by DIL, sources close to the Dangote Group said the company had to consider the repurchase of TBCG so as to keep the company as a going concern, which preserves value for the minority retail shareholders. The move also secured direct employment for over 3,000 employees.
 
“Going by every indication, the future of the company was very doubtful and that was risky for the employees, which are over 3,000 Nigerians apart from others who benefit from the company’s services through other ancillary services. The return of DIL is therefore, a big relief and good decision to save the jobs of the staff of TBCG,” a market operator, who declined to be named, said

We were in the first class cabin, I was sitting close to the pilot, they were serving us many delicacies like cake, meat pie, red wine, palm wine, suya, roasted yam, etc. Later the plane became stuffy, I had to roll down the window. I saw everybody on the ground, I saw my house, I even saw that your fine brother. KATE: That means you enjoyed a lot on the plane. MARY : Very much! KATE : My boyfriend and I travelled to Canada too.

The pilot had to come out to ...

How I was Betrayed at PDP's National Convention in Port Harcourt - Ali Modu Sheriff

Image
Ali Modu Sheriff    The crisis within the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party is far from over, with Ali Modu Sheriff claiming he remained the national chairman of the party, despite being sacked by a national convention.

Inuwa Bwala, the spokesperson for Mr. Sheriff, told Premium Times around 8.41pm on Saturday that Mr. Sheriff remained opposed to what happened at the Port Harcourt convention, since he had announced its suspension after consulting with members of the National Working Committee of the party. “Immediately the chairman (Sheriff) received another court injunction, he called a meeting of the National Working Committee and told them that it wasn’t safe to continue with the convention of the party, especially since the court had forbidden elections virtua...

General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God Worldwide (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye     The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God Worldwide (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has cursed some greedy Nigerians who are “destroying the Naira” for their own evil gains.    The man of God stated during a sermon yesterday, at a special Sunday Service organized by RCCG Region 11, Ikoyi/Victoria Island family, at the Tafawa Balewa Square in Onikan, Lagos that he received a revelation from God early this year, but was just sharing it for the first time. “Those who are deliberately destroying the Naira will make the money but will not spend it,”  Adeboye declared.   The Naira has drastically nose-dived in value in recent months, exchanging at over N500 to the dollar, before it began to appreciate lately.   As at last weekend, it suffered further depreciation after it was sold N405 to the dollar at...

Why Marriage is Beyond Cooking & Praying for an Hour - Pastor Chris Ojigbani Talks on Trending

Image
  Pastor Chris Ojigbani   Recently, there was this controversy going on in the social media that a man shouldn’t marry a woman who doesn’t know how to cook or a woman who doesn’t pray for an hour. So, I deem it necessary to clarify the issue. As the apostle of marriage, it’s my responsibility to clarify the issue to avoid causing more delayed marriage, separation and divorce in the world.   This is the will of God concerning the issue: You must not use cooking as a criterion for choosing your spouse. Though food is important in life, cooking must not be used as a criterion for choosing a spouse. Why? I tell you three reasons.   First, a woman who doesn’t know how to cook can actually learn how to cook. Second, a woman can employ the services of a professional cook. Third, a husband can tolerate if his wife doesn’t cook very well. Tolerance is important in marriage because everybody has weaknesses, both husbands and wives. If a woman doesn’t know how t...

2016 - a year of social media drama and controversies. Only when we thought the Twitter beef was left only for entertainers and celebrities, our politicians has taken it up a notch with yet another Twitfight! Senator Ben Murray-Bruce   Bayelsa state Senator, Ben Murray-Bruce, and Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, were earlier today, engaged in a twitter fight over the activities of the current APC-led federal government.   The twitter fight which went viral, was set off by a tweet posted by Japhet Omojuwa, who tweeted that Ben Bruce should not be taken seriously. "The reason I will NEVER take people like Ben Bruce serious is because when they saw a leader (GEJ) do wrong, they kept quiet. Don’t be Bruce," he said.     As expected, the Silverbird boss responded and chose to use the recent comments credited to President Buhari that some Nigerians are giving the country a bad image by engaging in nefarious activities around the wo...
