Nigeria’s business mogul, Aliko Dangote, has decried difficulties faced by investors travelling across the African continent.

He bemoaned the stringent travel policy among African countries when he spoke recently at the Africa CEO Forum Annual Summit in Kigali, Rwanda.

According to Dangote, he needs different 35 visas on his Nigerian passport to travel within Africa.

The 67-year-old business mogul said he did not have the time to move around the continent to drop his passport at embassies to get visas, adding that it was a big challenge.

“I still complained to President Kagame. I told him that, as an investor, I have to now apply for 35 different visas on my passport, and I told Mr President, I really don’t have the time to go and be dropping my passports in embassies to get a visa.

“But you see, the most annoying thing is that yes, if you are treating everybody the same, then I can understand,” he said.

According to African richest man, Patrick Pouyanne, chairman of Total Energies, does not need 35 visas on his French passport to gain access to African countries.
