Aliko Dangote Wants a One Passport for The African Continent…

In a recent interview with CNBC Africa, Aliko Dangote, who is the richest man in Nigeria, has said that African leaders need to remove the barriers that stop other African nationals from gaining ease into their countries. He says it is hampering business…

”Our leaders must give incentives. For example, little things like visa issuance. You go to a country that is looking for investment, that particular country will give you a run around just to get a visa. You have to know somebody who is big in that country to call somebody. They are giving you visas as if it is a favour.

Somebody like me, despite the size of our group, I need 38 visas to move around Africa. Yes, I’ve heard that they are going to do the (African) passport, but you can see that there is still a little bit of resistance from other African leaders.

Even countries like Rwanda and co, that say no visas for Africans, they are still having problems getting visas into other African countries, despite saying no need for visas for Africans coming in. They say, just come, we would give you on arrival”
