President of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, says its subsidiary companies are committed to spending additional N900bn on road infrastructure across Nigeria, including the Deep-Sea Port Access Road, one of several roads it built and is developing under the Federal Government’s tax credit scheme.

Dangote announced this on Thursday, June 5, 2025, while receiving the country’s President Bola Tinubu on a visit to the $20bn Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals Plant in Lekki, Lagos.

The additional commitment, he assured, is notwithstanding the group’s N450bn payment in tax liabilities to the Federal Government’s coffers in the 2024 financial year ended December 31, which makes it the highest tax-paying company in the country.

According to Dangote, the Deep Sea Port Access Road is “one of eight major road projects totalling 500 kilometres, including two in Borno State that will eventually link Nigeria to both Chad and Cameroon.”

He described the president as a courageous leader whose administration has revived investor confidence in the private sector, appreciating him for envisioning and implementing the Lekki Deep Sea Port project, assuring him of private sector support to expand infrastructure nationwide.
