New Nigerian High Commissioner Designate retired Brigadier General Stanly Diriyai has revealed that a Nigerian successful businessman named Aliko Dangote is interested to establish a fertilizer manufacturing company in the country.

This was revealed on Tuesday when Diriyai was presenting his letters of credence to President Peter Muntharika at the new state house.
