Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has explained that his passion for an industrialized Nigeria is the sole reason he doesn’t have houses outside Nigeria.

During a media parley at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State, Dangote revealed that he once had a London house which he sold in 1996.

He added that “the reason I don’t have a London or America house is solely because I wanted to focus on industrialization in Nigeria.

“I figured that if I had those houses, there will be one reason or the other for me to visit those places thereby causing distraction for me.

“I am very passionate about the Nigeria dream and apart from my Lagos house, I have another one in my home state Kano and a rented one in Abuja,” he revealed.

In her closing remarks, the Group Executive Director, Commercial Operations, Fatima Dangote, commended Mr Dangote for never giving up on the Nigerian dream.

She added that “I have not seen anyone as hardworking as my father, sometimes I wonder how he never gives up.

“I wish we have a few more men like my father in Nigeria, the country will be a better place,” she said.

Its a lie, he owns a house in London, he owns a house in Lagos and has ran away from his state and settled in Lagos because of poverty and insecurity in his tiny state. He is living in Lagos because tinubu built Lagos and his state governor refused to build Kano.

SmartPolician:
You can say anything about Dangote, but one thing you cannot deny him is his genuine love for Nigeria.

If all the public office holders stealing from this country had been investing their loots here, we would've had a much better country.
