Minister of Police Affairs, Mohammed Dingyadi, made the disclosure to State House correspondents at the end of the National Security Council (NSC) meeting on Friday in Abuja.
Over the last few days, Kogi government and Dangote Group have been at loggerheads after the state sealed off the company’s cement plant over an ownership dispute.
The state government claimed that the purported transfer of the facility to Dangote was not “proper”.
The company rejected the government’s claim, saying its acquisition of the cement plant followed due process.
On Thursday, the government asked the company to keep its plant shut for the next two days and asked it to provide proof of ownership.
Addressing journalists on the dispute, Dingyadi said an agreement has been reached to ensure the reopening of the plant.
“An agreement has been reached between the Kogi state government and the Dangote Cement in Kogi on the need to re-open the factory and ensure that there is peace in the state,” the police minister said.
“Government is committed to the provision of employment to its citizens rather than closing factories that will make people unemployed and we do hope that the parties involved will respect this agreement and come to terms with the memorandum of understanding signed by the parties involved.”
