The Nigerian billionaire and Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote has revealed that he doesn’t have a permanent residence in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city.
He disclosed this during his speech at a media parley which took place at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State, on Sunday, July 14, 2024.
The billionaire said that his passion lies in the industrialization of Nigeria and for that reason he refuses to acquire permanent residences outside the country, like in countries such as the UK or the US.
In the speech he revealed that he once had a house in London but sold it in 1996, showing his dedication to focus on his home country Nigeria.
Speaking, he revealed;
“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,”
