President Emmerson Mnangagwa is set to host Nigerian business magnate Aliko Dangote today as Zimbabwe moves closer to securing a landmark US$1 billion investment deal spanning cement production, coal mining, and power generation.
The proposed venture forms part of Government’s broader drive to transform Zimbabwe into a regional industrial hub, in line with Vision 2030 — the national blueprint aimed at achieving an inclusive, upper middle-income economy.
Under the partnership, Dangote’s conglomerate — which operates across multiple African markets — is expected to develop a fully integrated industrial operation comprising a cement factory, limestone quarry, coal mine, and power plant.
The initiative underscores the Second Republic’s commitment to fostering a competitive and investor-friendly climate, as Zimbabwe intensifies efforts to attract high-impact foreign direct investment and spur economic growth.
