Aliko Dangote, a well-known billionaire, arrived in Lagos State penniless but is now the richest man in Africa, according to Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

This was said by Babajide Samwo-Olu at the commissioning of the Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals, the largest single-train refinery in the world, in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos.

“Dangote came to Lagos with nothing about 45 years ago, but he is now Africa’s richest man,” he said.

According to Sanwo-Olu, Dangote has invested in the state and made important efforts to assure Nigeria’s and the state’s economic prosperity.
