Subject: RE: Nigeria
Dear Sultan,
Thank you for your clear response. I appreciate your desire to review a pro=osal, but I do not have one. The reason I
suggested we first meet and the= develop a proposal is that I need to better understand your objectives an= capacity--at
a greater depth than I can glean from your bullet points bel=w. I understand Nigeria well and talk with all the
appropriate players, f=om the president, to the relevant ministers, to Gabriele Volpi--it is a re=uirement 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 c=allenges 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 =nformation in your proposal we are willing
to sign an NDA agreement with y=u.
Background of Dpworld/Nigeria
We have been many times to Nigeria from 2005 till 2018 1-met the previous t=o presidents at their invitation 2-met the
current Lagos Governor at his i=vitation.
3-Met a private t port owner in Lagos discussed acquisition/ joint venture =t didn't work as he insisted that we pay his
dividends in dollars while ou= earnings in Nigerian Nira !!
4- January 2018 met transport minister who was overwhelmed with my present=tion but he offered we build an
industrial park in Lekki since Port is alr=ady given to a consortium of an indian developer/ Chinese contractor and c=a
French shipping company to mange I declined the offer as there is no ben=fit for us to create an industrial zone to
produce cargo for someone's els= port.
At Dpworld I made a decision that unless we get what a compelling offer we =tay away from Nigeria until 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.
