Funny I remember his time at NFF Lmao. The 2002 NFF (then NFA) elections came with a lot of drama. Aliko Dangote was tipped for the NFF chairmanship position as the govt needed him to bring his financial muscle to the association. Back then the NFF was highly politicized and aso rock was directly involved, it was about "who is who" of the society.

Long story short, Dangote eventually stepped outside for Galadima for the chairmanship position, and declined serving on the board all together. Emmanuel Ibru was later appointed to replace Dangote on the board of the NFF as a govt nominee.

Time flies sha.

Quiet and super rich. And then there's the fishing business.

Another businessman to look out for in the oil palm sector is Rasheed Sarumi of Saro Africa. He's taking the oil palm industry by storm.
