Dangote group plans to buy Phosphate from Morocco

 

 

 

Dangote Group, the company owned by Africa's richest man Aliko Dangote, said on the 7th of March ,2016 revealed its plans to buy phosphate from Morocco and potash from Congo-Brazzaville to feed a planned fertilizer plant.

 

     Dangote who has raised a $3.3 billion loan to develop a $9 billion oil refinery and petrochemical complex in Nigeria, Africa's biggest economy and top oil producer. The group has also invested $3.5 billion of its own equity.

Dangote told a business forum in Lagos his firm was close to signing a deal with a Moroccan firm to supply phosphate, without giving details.

   Furthermore,He said his planned oil refinery would have a capacity of 650,000 barrels per day (bpd), up from an initial plan of 400,000 bpd.

"We can actually build ... 30 percent cheaper than previously," Dangote said, referring to lower construction cost as a result of cheap global steel prices.

The refinery and petrochemical complex will go online around 2018, company officials have said.

       He said Dangote Group was also constructing a gas pipeline beneath the sea to link Nigeria's oil-producing Delta region to West Africa.

The pipeline will be able to transport 1.5 billion standard cubic feet of gas per day, he said, without giving more details. 

Dangote Group, which is active in cement, oil, food and sugar business, is also expanding into farming.

 

     Dangote said his firm planned to produce one million tonnes of rice within five years. Nigeria imports annually 2.8 million tonnes of rice, the majority of which is smuggled into the country, he said.

"Our projects are mainly import substitution." he said. "We are working to be self-sufficient." (Reporting by Ulf Laessing and Chijioke Ohuocha;

     Apple developer rule changes and this include Apple ditching the Head Phone Jack on the iPhone within the next two years. The phone Case which not only lacks a dedicated head Phone Jack Port, but also no slot on the case can even fit the Apple headphone plug. Furthermore, the case backs up growing talk that it will be replaced by all in one (Music and Charging) Lightning Cable and dual Speaker arrangement.


     2.   Major Camera Upgrade

        Again,Unbox's case ties in perfectly with a flurry of leaks that says Apple is working on a greatly upgraded camera for the iPhone7. The case shows the camera slot has been enlarged dramatically for either a significantly larger module or even a dual lens camera. what is less clear is which model will get this camera. This case is for the 4-7inch iPhone 7 but there is a growing momentum behind an iPhone 7 Pro being introduced alongside the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 The pro will be based on the plus with the sole difference being an exciting dual lens camera.

3.    Almost Identical Design
         We all know the drill, the iPhone range gets internal changes in an ‘S year’ and a redesign in a ‘new number year’. But it looks like Apple is going to break form here as Unbox’s video shows the iPhone 6S fits almost exactly into the leaked iPhone 7 case.In terms of dimensions, the fit is so precise it suggests we shouldn’t expect the overhaul many had hoped for – particularly in terms of more compact top and bottom bezels.
