Today, I opened West Africa’s first multi-technology industrial additive manufacturing facility in Lagos.

By producing industrial components and spare parts here in Lagos, Arridex is helping to reduce our dependence on imports, strengthen critical industries and support economic growth.

I commend the Arridex team for their vision and commitment to building solutions that serve not only Nigeria but the wider African continent.

Lagos will continue to support investments that create opportunities, grow local capacity and position our state as a hub for innovation and industry.

Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Ronald Lamola, has reaffirmed the strong and historic relations between South Africa and Ghana, highlighting the enduring spirit of solidarity that continues to underpin bilateral cooperation between the two nations.

The Minister noted that a distinguished Ghanaian leader publicly defended South Africa’s sovereignty, dignity and territorial integrity during a period of international scrutiny relating to the country's case before the International Court of Justice.

This gesture of support reflects the deep historical bonds, shared values and longstanding commitment to justice, multilateralism and mutual respect that characterise relations between South Africa and Ghana.

“A wonder of the world.”

That was how Standard Bank Group CEO, Sim Tshabalala, described the Dangote Petroleum Refinery during his visit to the facility.

The refinery is more than an industrial asset. It represents what is possible when bold vision is matched with long-term investment, execution, and a commitment to solving some of Africa's most pressing challenges.

As Africa continues to strengthen its industrial capacity, strategic partnerships between industry and finance will remain critical to unlocking growth, enhancing energy security, and creating lasting economic value across the continent.

We appreciate the continued support of partners who share our belief in Africa's future and its potential to lead through production, innovation, and scale.
