(Bloomberg) â Tanzaniaâs new President Samia Hassan won accolades from Aliko Dangote, Africaâs richest man, and fellow billionaire Mohammed Dewji for her business-friendly noises. But her governmentâs crackdown on opposition leaders this week is raising some concern.
Since she took office on March 19, Hassan â Africaâs only female head of government â has signaled a new business-friendly era, pledging to reverse her predecessorâs policies that antagonized investors and hit foreign investments. Hassan, 61, promised to dismantle barriers put up by former President John Magufuli and resurrect a $30 billion natural gas project, prompting Dangote and Dewji to say Tanzania seems to be opening for business again.
