DANGOTE PUSHES FOR CEMENT ROADS


Africa's richest man Aliko Dangote has asked the Federal Government to switch to building roads with Cement and aggregates rather than bitumen. He said concrete roads are a cheaper option and discourage corruption as they need little maintenance, unlike the bitumen roads.  
Dangote said, “We are pushing for Nigeria to do concrete roads. It is cheaper to do a concrete road that will last 50 years than to do a bitumen road.
“It will also help in eliminating corruption, because if you go and build a bitumen road, it will have to be adequately maintained unlike a concrete road that is very durable.”
