Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has said that the house he stays in while in Abuja is rented, not owned by him.
Speaking at a media event at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery in Lagos on Sunday, July 14, Dangote explained that his main focus is on building up Nigeria’s industries. This is why he does not own houses outside Nigeria.
He shared that he used to have a house in London, but he sold it in 1996.
“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,” Dangote said.
