Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has said the house he stays in whenever he is in the Federal Capital Territory is not his personal property but a rented one.
While speaking at a media parley at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State, on Sunday, July 14, Dangote said his passion for an industrialised Nigeria is the sole reason he doesn’t have houses outside Nigeria.
He revealed that he once had a house in London, disclosing that he sold it in 1996.
“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.
