Africa's richest man and President of Dangote Industries Limited, Aliko Dangote, has said he is prerrently resting after delivering his refinery project.
The 650,000-barrel refinery and petrochemicals project worth over $20bn has certainly come to change the dynamics in the oil and gas market in Nigeria and Africa, even as the refinery now exports refined products to other countries in Africa and Middle East.
Dangote not too long ago opened up about the challenges he went through when constructing the refinery which he described as the biggest risk of his life, saying he passed through hell.
And speaking during the groundbreaking ceremony of the 43-storey building new First Bank Head Office at Eko Atlantic City in Lagos, Dangote said he’s now resting after delivering the project.
He commended his ally and friend Femi Otedola, Chairman of FirstHoldCo for daring to put up a 43-storey edifice in Eko Atlantic as the new Head Office of FirstBank.
Dangote however stated that Otedola had also invited him to come to Eko Atlantic, adding, “Maybe soon, not now I’m resting right now. Having delivered the refinery I need some rest but I’ll come, I’ll be here very soon. So I want to congratulate you (Otedola) and the entire board and management of First Bank for taking this bold move of building a massive edifice in the new City of Lagos.”
