Look at how far God has brought me since my HIV announcement 35 years ago! It is truly because of His grace and mercy that I am still here and thriving. God never gave up on me, and I kept the faith. He has truly blessed me beyond measure with His unconditional love and kindness. With His guidance, He has continued to open doors I always knew were possible. I am thankful for all of the prayers from my family, friends, and fans throughout the years, and I am a living witness that there’s nothing too hard for God.

A Nigerian vision on a global stage.
At Times Square, New York City, our President/Chief Executive, Aliko Dangote, joined members of the Dangote leadership team as the story of Dangote Petroleum Refinery lit up one of the world’s most iconic locations.
With him were Halima Aliko Dangote, Fatima Aliko Dangote, Zouera Youssoufou, David Bird, Murat Erden, Ibrahim Dikko Adamu, Muhammad Jamilu and Anthony Chiejina.
A moment that reflects the scale of our ambition and our continued commitment to building world-class African enterprises.
Made in Nigeria. Built for the world.

I am thrilled to see the Dangote refinery reach such significant operational milestones.
Having closely followed its development, I understand that creating a project of this scale in Nigeria was never an easy task. It demanded navigating complex regulatory frameworks, overcoming entrenched interests, and addressing substantial institutional and commercial hurdles.
I take great pride in the role that @OALNigeria , played by providing governance advisory support throughout this journey, contributing in our own way to the realisation of this vital national project. During this period, I had the privilege of working closely with @AlikoDangote GCON and witnessed first-hand his unwavering determination to see the project through, despite numerous challenges.
Today, the refinery stands as much more than just a major industrial facility. With a remarkable capacity of 700,000 barrels per day, it is now Africa’s largest single-train refinery and a cornerstone of Nigeria’s energy and industrial landscape. One of the most significant economic impacts of this achievement is its potential to reduce Nigeria’s dependence on imported refined petroleum products, thereby alleviating the demand for foreign exchange linked to those imports. Recent data already indicate a notable shift in Nigeria’s petroleum products trade, with exports rising alongside the expansion of domestic refining capacity.
However, completing the refinery is just one chapter in this ongoing story. The next challenge lies in maintaining its competitiveness by effectively navigating the regulatory and commercial landscape, strengthening governance, and ensuring that this substantial investment continues to generate value for Dangote Industries, its stakeholders, and the Nigerian economy.
At OAL, our strategic legal and governance advisory remains vital in this next phase.
We are proud to have contributed to this landmark project and are genuinely excited about what it signifies for Nigeria.
@F1@angellilix@Formula3 These people are about to force me to continue watching F1 when I was going to retire with Lewis.
Like what do you mean there is a young NIGERIAN racer coming through the ranks?💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
Honoured to be sworn in today by @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres as Under-Secretary-General and Special Adviser on Africa at @UNOSAA1.
I'm humbled and grateful for the opportunity to continue to serve #Africa and the @UN at this important time.
May your mistakes never have the misfortune of becoming public ones. It is easy to critique someone when the whole world is watching their error, but wisdom remembers that none of us is beyond making one. Even in correction, discernment matters. Be gentle with people in their imperfect moments. One day, you may need the same grace from a world that has seen yours.
This is Francis Ngannou, widely regarded as one of the strongest men on the planet, cooking corn over a fire in his mother’s village of Batie in Cameroon’s West Region 🇨🇲.
Despite having journeyed across the globe and owning luxurious homes and vehicles in various locations, he still chooses to return to his mother’s kitchen.
He has said that nothing compares to the rainy season in his home village. Even as a world champion, he continues to value and honour his origins.
It stands as a powerful example of genuine humility. No matter how far life may take a person, it remains important to remember the path that leads back home.
