Our eyes are on our water.

In the presence of HE L/general Tadese Werede ,President of Tigray Region interim government,we laid corner stone for inauguration of Mekele town FSSTP at a cost of 2.24 billion Eth Birr. The project is expected to be completed in 18 months.
GERD is all about #power. We are shining #GERD#Ethiopia. Success is at our yard. Behind this giant dam ,I see the bright future of my people. Thanks to all who contributed to the success. Above all Thanks to Almighty God.
Congratulations to all Ethiopians on another milestone in our journey toward food security and agricultural transformation. Today, we signed the Fertilizer Complex Shareholder Investment Agreement between Ethiopian Investment Holdings and Dangote Group. With an investment of $2.5 billion, this mega project will produce up to 3 million metric tons of fertilizer annually, placing Ethiopia among the largest producers globally.
This project will create jobs locally, ensure a reliable fertilizer supply for our farmers who have long faced challenges, and mark a decisive step in our path to food sovereignty. It strengthens Ethiopiaโs competitiveness across the continent and reflects our commitment to executing strategic investments that serve our people and our future.
Following todayโs signing, we will officially launch the project on site. We have started this journey, and we will finish it for our farmers, for our economy, and for Ethiopiaโs future.
