“Ethiopia is home to our continental organization, the African Union. Therefore, the election here is important not just for Ethiopia, but for the entire continent,” said Uhuru Kenyatta, former Kenyan President and head of the African Union Election Observation Mission (#AUEOM)
Lafto Hospital has been inaugurated!
In line with Ethiopia’s improved preventive and curative healthcare policy, Lafto Hospital marks a transformative milestone in realizing our vision of making the country a leading destination for medical tourism, reducing the large outflow of foreign currency spent on medical treatment abroad, and continuing the development of similar advanced specialized healthcare institutions.
Built on 5.4 hectares of land, the modern and massive Lafto Hospital provides internationally standard medical treatment for illnesses such as cancer, complex heart diseases, and related medical conditions, enabling citizens to access specialized healthcare services within their own country. Beyond transforming healthcare delivery, this major institution stands as a living testament to Ethiopia’s strong commitment to self-reliance and national development across all sectors.

As part of our industrialization journey and a major milestone in advancing the “Made in Ethiopia” initiative, the inauguration of the Grandeur Ceramic Factory constructed in Mojo town this morning stands as a practical demonstration that our movement will steadily expand across the country attracting international investments.
The factory will supply ceramic products that meet international standards of quality and competitiveness, while sourcing more than 80 percent of its raw materials locally. Beyond strengthening Ethiopia’s capacity to harness its own natural resources and potential, this achievement will significantly reduce dependence on imported goods.

Dangote Gets Hero’s Welcome in Ethiopia, Raises Investment to $4bn
President of Dangote Industries Limited, Aliko Dangote, received a warm welcome in Gode, Ethiopia, where he was hosted by Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed.
Both leaders visited the site of the proposed fertiliser plant to assess ongoing construction. Ethiopia had signed a shareholders’ agreement with Dangote Group in August last year to establish a urea plant with a capacity of three million metric tonnes annually.
Dangote announced an increase in investment from $2.5 billion to over $4 billion, reflecting expanded scope, including a 110km pipeline, a 120MW power plant, a polypropylene packaging facility, and a two-million-tonne NPK blending plant.
Prime Minister Abiy described the project as a strategic initiative to boost agriculture, enhance food security, and reduce import dependence. He noted steady construction progress and expressed confidence in its impact on farmers, job creation, and economic growth.
The project reinforces Dangote Group’s commitment to industrial development across Africa.
Today in Hawassa, Sidama Region, we proudly inaugurate the Toyo Phase 2, Origin, and Lumintech solar factories, alongside the HZ Gas plant at Hawassa Industrial Park.
Together, the solar facilities will generate 11.3 gigawatts of clean energy annually, while HZ Gas will supply 900 tons of oxygen, 40,000 tons of nitrogen, and 7 tons of hydrogen each year. These four projects have created numerous jobs, expanding opportunity and powering livelihoods. Their production capacity is immense, but so is Ethiopia’s potential!
