Aliko Dangote, the richest man in Africa, has revealed that he rents the home he stays in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.
At a press conference on Sunday at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State, Dangote disclosed this information.
Dangote clarified that the primary reason he does not own properties outside of Nigeria is his dedication to the country’s industrialization.
He said he formerly owned a home in London, but he sold it in 1996 so he could concentrate on achieving his business objectives in Nigeria.

Dangote stated, “The reason I don’t have a London or America house is solely because I wanted to focus on industrialization in Nigeria.
“I figured that if I had those houses, there will be one reason or the other for me to visit those places thereby causing distraction for me.
“I am very passionate about the Nigeria dream and apart from my Lagos house, I have another one in my home state Kano and a rented one in Abuja,” he added.
The Group Executive Director of Commercial Operations, Fatima Dangote, continued her speech by praising her father’s commitment to the Nigerian dream.
She said, “I have not seen anyone as hardworking as my father; sometimes I wonder how he never gives up. I wish we had a few more men like my father in Nigeria, the country would be a better place.”
