Yesterday, it was an honour to tour Dangote Petroleum Refinery with the Directors of First Holdco and subsidiaries 🐘🏭
We were warmly hosted by Africa’s greatest industrialist, @AlikoDangote, whose ambition to the continent continue to inspire so many of us.
Even though I’ve visited the site several times, each visit reminds me of what is possible when big dreams are backed by real action.
Africa’s future will be built by leaders who believe deeply in our own people… F.Ote💲
""I’ve appealed to Aliko Dangote to allocate shares worth $100m to me in the private placement of the refinery"
