President Bola Tinubu has extended warm congratulations to Africa’s richest man and President of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, on the occasion of his 67th birthday.
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President praised Dangote as a visionary whose resilience and commitment to Africa’s economic advancement have redefined the face of entrepreneurship on the continent.
He lauded the billionaire industrialist for his significant contributions to Nigeria’s industrialisation, citing achievements in sectors such as cement, agriculture, and most notably, the Dangote Refinery — a transformative project boosting national self-sufficiency and generating thousands of jobs.
Beyond commerce, the President extolled Dangote’s philanthropy, mainly through the Dangote Foundation, which has uplifted millions of underprivileged Africans.
He said: “Aliko Dangote’s life embodies hard work, generosity, and faith in Nigeria’s potential. His willingness to invest in people and nation-building reflects profound business ingenuity and love for humanity.”
President Tinubu prayed that God Almighty will continue to bless Africa’s richest man with vitality, wisdom, and many more years of impact.
He encouraged younger Nigerians to draw inspiration from Dangote’s enterprise, resilience, and service.
