Yeah, and it's in a world standard institution too with a globally recognised business brand name.

Sort of like the Kellogg Business School in the U.S.

This is definitely his most impressive gesture of giving back to his society. N1.2 Billion well spent.

If 8 Dangote's cement trucks can be attacked, robbed and set ablaze in Onitsha by IPOB terrorists for no logical reason except for belonging to an aboki, you can't blame him for shying away from areas potentially volatile to his investments.

Point of correction; it was not destroyed for 'belonging to an aboki'. I live there and the gist isn't something I can spill on this thread, it's a story for another day. The truck actually hit another road user and the driver escaped to avoid lynching by angry mobs, hence the burning of the truck.

You can't spill the gist, story for another day, yet you went ahead to deliver the bare faced fallacy of a story.

You mean 8 trucks were burnt because of an accident by 1 driver according to your story?

Is that also why the IPOB terrorists burnt the mosque at Onitsha main market that same day?

There's a reason your angle was never reported, it never happened.

Which business school did he attend to become who he is today?
