Focus on industrialised Nigeria made me sell my house in London – Dangote

Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote has said that his passion for an industrialised Nigeria made him not to have personal houses outside the country.

During a media parley at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State, Dangote revealed that he once had a London house which he sold in 1996.

He added, “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 of Kano and a rented one in Abuja.”
