» » Ebola: Dangote withdraws staff from Liberia

The Ebola virus outbreak is also affecting Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote. He has pulled out some of his employees from his cement plant in Liberia where the virus has killed about 694 people.

This was revealed by a Lagos-based financial advisory and research firm, Financial Derivatives Company Limited (FDC), in its latest bi-monthly economic report.

The Chief Executive Officer, Dangote Cement Plc, Devakumar Edwin, had explained that some of the company’s members of staff had left Liberia as a result of the spread of the dreaded virus.

Edwin also explained that the company is reviewing plans in Liberia for an import terminal and considering whether a larger grinding facility in the country would be a better investment, Edwin had explained.

According to Dangote, the effect of Ebola “will have a great impact”.

In Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, attempts to quarantine infected populations and contain the virus have paralysed some companies and led to job losses.
