Sagacious Samad Rabiu Inaguarate­s $350m Plant in Sokoto

Why VP Osinbajo always supports him

-

In his stint in public office, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has come to exemplify a special conception of a forthright no sophistry-permitting political leader. Restrained, yet, robust in his public and private statements, he says it as it is without pandering to any parochial or puritanica­l interest. Thus, when the Professor of Law declared on Tuesday, that he was not only in awe of the $350 million dollar ultra-modern BUA Cement Plant, 32MW Captive Power Plant and Coal Mill in Sokoto ( the new baby of Forbes-certified billionair­e businessma­n, Alhaji Abdulsamad Rabiu) but bows to the BUA chairman’s genius and altruistic patriotism. The plant, with its commanding presence would occasion a lot of double takes while a cursory stroll into its bowels would leave so much to see and salivate about. According to the VP, “BUA Cement Plant is a big boost to the Nigerian Economy”. What the VP did not know is that such massive endeavours are not alien to Abdulsamad, whose commitment to national and economic stability is beyond doubt. Having recorded a series of remarkable firsts in the highly competitiv­e world of commerce, there are more worlds for him to conquer. And Nigeria and Africa are the better for it. Indeed, he has created a legendary brand in BUA, which is a blessing. Rather than submit to the rigours and pressures of commerce, he towers in excellence thus creating a powerhouse that Nigeria nay Africa is proud of. The Kano-born billionair­e, reputed for his fine taste in all things of life that money can buy, is sparing no expense in constructi­ng a plant that can compete favourably with any in its class across the globe. BUA group is one of Nigeria’s largest conglomera­tes specializi­ng in cement, manufactur­ing, port operations, sugar refinery, edible oil, shipping & real estate and many more.
