[Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 @AbiyAhmedAli]

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 Ethiopia’s competitiveness across the continent and reflects our commitment to executing strategic investments that serve our people and our future.

Following today’s 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 Ethiopia’s future.

Excited to announce that @theflutterwave made @TIME 100 Most Influential Companies list, for the second time, alongside fellow titans like @OpenAI @Meta , @amazon Q and @netflix and it means everything.

From our early days in 2016, landing @Uber as our enterprise customer, to reaching unicorn status, expanding globally, launching SendApp and supporting business across Africa, it’s been a journey of bold moves, tough calls and constant building.

We’ve grown over the years and this recognition reminds us that it’s been worth it.

Big thanks to the Flutterwave team, you are my biggest backer and this would not have been possible without you.

It’s still Day 1, the journey continues!
