I Can’t Take Nigeria’s Refinery To My Grave, Everything I Do Is In The Interest Of My Country – Dangote

The President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote has come out to say that his friend who earlier warned him against investing in Nigeria is now taunting him for ignoring his advice.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, his wealthy friend has focused on investing his money abroad over the years, and he was disagreeing with him, saying he should rethink his actions in the interest of his country.

Dangote added that the same friend has now been taunting him in recent days because his own plan to invest in Nigeria’s refinery has backfired.

His words, “Four years ago, one of my very wealthy friends began to invest his money abroad. I disagreed with him and urged him to rethink his actions in the interest of his country.

He blamed his action on policy inconsistencies and shenanigans of interest groups.

That friend has been taunting me in the past few days, saying he warned me and that he has been proven right.

As you probably know, I am 67 years old. In less than three years, I will be 70. I need very little to live the rest of my life. I can’t take the refinery or any other property or asset to my grave. Everything I do is in the interest of my country.

We have been facing a fuel crisis since the 70s. This refinery can help in resolving the problem but it does appear some people are uncomfortable that I am in the picture. So I am ready to let go, let the NNPC buy me out, run the refinery.
