The richest man in Africa and 25th in the world Aliko Dangote disclosed that the assests of his company is now worth $21bn after a meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan in Nairobi, Kenya.
The man who is on the brink of building the biggest refinery in Africa situated in Nigeria said a whole lot projects are still to be implemented.
“In December 2003, our production of cement was 1.8 million tons, but today in Nigeria, we have 28.5 million tons and by next year, we are going to have 39 million tons. You can actually see the massive work and dramatic turn of event. I want to tell you what the
President has been doing in Nigeria. He is very humble and may not want to sing about what he has been doing.
“I will tell you what he has been doing to Nigerians and to some of us who are in business in Nigeria. We are very grateful for some of the policies he has introduced. As you all know, without the good policies of government, there is no way a person like me from the big town like Kano can find himself to be the 25th richest person on earth.
“Without the policies of Mr President and also making sure that yes, there is consistency in the policies of government, this could not actually have happened. If government has bad policies, the whole economy will crumble and if they have good policies, people will be able to prosper.That is what it is now.”

This praise singing is to be expected from Dangote who is the greatest beneficiary of Nigerian government tax and import duty waivers.
