President Bola Tinubu extends warm felicitations to Alhaji Aliko Dangote (GCON), Africa’s leading industrialist, accomplished businessman, and Chairman of Dangote Group, on his birthday on Friday, April 10.
President Tinubu acknowledges Dangote’s outstanding contributions to Nigeria and Africa’s economic growth and industrial development.
“Aliko’s entrepreneurial vision, resilience, innovation, and commitment to excellence have transformed industries and positioned Nigeria as a hub for large-scale petrochemical and cement production through his establishment of the multi-billion-dollar Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical Company and cement factories across Africa.
“I salute Aliko for his conglomerate’s role in job creation, infrastructure development, and unwavering belief in the Nigerian economy and its potential. Dangote remains a shining example of African enterprise, whose achievements continue to inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs across the continent.
“I also applaud Aliko’s philanthropic efforts, particularly through the Dangote Foundation, which have significantly impacted lives in health, education, and poverty alleviation.
“As Aliko marks another year, I pray for his continued good health, wisdom, and greater accomplishments in service to Nigeria, Africa, and humanity,” the President says.
