Dear Sultan,
Thank you for your clear response. I appreciate your desire to review a proposal, but I do not have one. The
reason I suggested we first meet and then develop a proposal is that I need to better understand your
objectives and capacity--at a greater depth than I can glean from your bullet points below. I understand
Nigeria well and talk with all the appropriate players, from the president, to the relevant ministers, to
Gabriele Volpi--it is a requirement in my role as chair of the sovereign fund where we now spend half our
funds on developing domestic infrastructure.
I have a decent sense as to how you are viewed in Nigeria and some of the challenges you have faced.
I look forward to finding a time to talk in person after Eid.
Best regards,
Jide

Dear Jide
I agree we should meet but for our meeting to be fruitful please give some information in your proposal we
are willing to sign an NDA agreement with you.
Background of Dpworld/Nigeria
We have been many times to Nigeria from 2005 till 2018 1-met the previous two presidents at their invitation
2-met the current Lagos Governor at his invitation.
3-Met a private t port owner in Lagos discussed acquisition/ joint venture it didn't work as he insisted that we
pay his dividends in dollars while our earnings in Nigerian Nira !!
4- January 2018 met transport minister who was overwhelmed with my presentation but he offered we build
an industrial park in Lekki since Port is already given to a consortium of an indian developer/ Chinese
contractor and cma French shipping company to mange I declined the offer as there is no benefit for us to
create an industrial zone to produce cargo for someone's else port.
At Dpworld I made a decision that unless we get what a compelling offer we stay away from Nigeria until
EFTA01038589
such a time.
The only way we will invest in Nigeria :
1-As a green field in Badagry which had good infrastructure
2- a brown field port in Lagos area either acquire an existing terminal .
I am in dubai till end if this month
But it's meaningless to meet without the information on what is proposed so I can study and correspond with
you our precise interest .
Yours
Sultan
