The Prime Minister described this initiative as a crucial step toward strengthening Ethiopia’s agricultural and industrial sectors.

Early Sunday morning, the Prime Minister and Aliko Dangote visited the project site in Gode, in Ethiopia’s Somali Region, to assess the progress of construction work.

The Prime Minister stated that the project goes beyond being a massive infrastructure investment, calling it a strategic initiative aimed at transforming Ethiopia’s agricultural sector, enhancing food security, expanding industrial capacities, and reducing the country’s dependence on foreign markets.

The Prime Minister noted that construction work is progressing steadily across various sections of the site and expressed satisfaction with the pace of development.

He added that the progress reflects strong collaboration and commitment among all stakeholders involved in implementing what he described as a transformative national development project.
