Dangote
Group continues to touch lives as it lends its support to the Nigerian National
Centenary Programme, flagged off by President Goodluck Jonathan, GCFR, in grand
style at the Presidential Villa, Aso Rock, Abuja on Monday February 4, 2013, before
an audience of eminent Nigerians and a live audience of millions watching at
home.
One
of the highlights of the event was the broadcast of a 15-minute documentary
tagged: The Journey to Amalgamation, which
was proudly sponsored by Dangote Group, about
the creation of modern Nigeria.
The
documentary takes viewers on an engaging journey from the early empires and
great city-states to the legends of pre-colonial Nigeria and the stories of
those individuals who fought valiantly to preserve the sovereignty of Nigeria
in the face of colonial rule. Dangote
Group supported the production of the documentary because of the company’s
unwavering belief in Nigeria and the importance of celebrating her history.
Aliko
Dangote, GCON, President/Chief Executive, Dangote Group said “We are passionate about our country and we
support projects that will bring us together as a people. It is important
for all Nigerians to learn more about their history understand where they are
coming from and feel proud about what we have achieved as a nation.”
The Journey to Amalgamation was commissioned for the evening by the
Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and marks the
beginning of a broader array of content that will be produced to celebrate the
Centenary and to share Nigerian history and culture with the world. The
documentary was produced by OutSource Media, a content production company that
has also been engaged to produce feature-length documentary films for the
Centenary project.
