Farouk Khailann, CEO of Premium Africa Holdings and Senior Advisor, has delivered a sharp critique of traditional methods used to attract investors to Africa, asserting that these practices are not only costly but increasingly ineffective.

In a recent statement, Khailann highlighted the inefficacy of conventional investment approaches, which often involve lavish spending and large entourages. “The traditional methods of attracting investors have become not only excessively expensive but also increasingly ineffective,” Khailann said.

post-image

 

As Nigeria continues to face a prolonged fuel and energy crisis, the newly operational Dangote Refinery has begun supplying petrol to the domestic market, offering some relief to Nigerians. However, the introduction of a new type of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) has sparked curiosity and concern among consumers.

Addressing public concerns, Dangote Petroleum Refinery assured Nigerians that the new clear petrol is of the highest quality. Rolled out into the market on Tuesday, September 3, the new fuel’s distinguishing feature is its clarity, which is attributed to the use of ethanol as a refining additive.
