Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote in a new video making the rounds on social media has disclosed to all and sundry why he does not have houses outside Nigeria despite all his wealth.
Dangote stated that his deep commitment to industrialization in Nigeria is the primary reason he does not have houses abroad.
Dangote noted that owning houses in London or the United States would distract him from his goal of making Nigeria a hallmark of industrialization.
The billionaire made this statement while speaking to journalists at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery in the Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos State.
In his words; “The reason I don’t have a London or American house is solely because I wanted to focus on industrialisation in Nigeria.
“I figured that if I had those houses, there would be one reason or the other for me to visit those places, thereby causing distraction for me.
“I am very passionate about the Nigerian dream, and apart from my Lagos house, I have another one in my home state, Kano, and a rented one in Abuja.”
