 The chairman and chief executive of Dangute Group, Alikro Dangute, has called on the authorities of the African Union to come up with a visa and arrival policy among member countries of the African Continental Free Trade Area. Dangute made the call at the 30th anniversary celebration of the African Export Input Bank in Accra, Ghana. It related his experience of travelling to another African country with an Nigerian carrying a British passport. The union passport allows you to move around, even though there are about two, three countries that are not allowing, they are not agreeing up to now, I don't know why, but you see if I have now had to get a visa to get into country A as an African, and now we go with a British guy who, or maybe a Nigerian, it has happened to me, a Nigerian holding a British passport, he was allowed in, and arguing, debating about my visa, and I'm doing the money. Can you imagine? Yes. Can you imagine? So I think what maybe African countries they need to do is that why don't you give Africa's visa on arrival, that will facilitate trade. If you are making life difficult for me, there's no way I'll go and invest. Yes. I mean, without mentioning a name, one we are building factories all over, you know, we invested about $620 million in South Africa, actually the biggest African investment, and then a neighboring country, I don't want to mention the name, and you know, they say, okay, fine, come and actually Angola. Okay, it's Angola. Come and invest. Yes, okay. And I said, no, I want to invest in Angola because getting even visa was difficult. Was difficult. Yes. So, you know, this thing we must free up and make sure that we allow Africans to move in. You can see, okay, fine, today, when you talk to them, they say, I don't know, it's about security. But then I say, okay, fine. So most of these guys, disturbing us in Mali, Burkina, Paso, Nigeria and so on, these guys, they don't have a visa, they don't even need a visa, they come through the land. So, if they don't need a visa, why me, there are how many I want to invest, you are harassing me. It doesn't make sense.
