Greatest REGRETS? Dangote Makes SHOCKING Confession Over His Refinery, See Explosive Details
Aliko Dangote, the President of Dangote Group, has shared that a close friend who previously advised him against investing in Nigeria is now ridiculing him for disregarding the warning. This revelation came during an interview with PREMIUM TIMES on Sunday, coinciding with claims by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) that diesel produced by the Dangote Refinery is of substandard quality.
Reflecting on the situation, Dangote recounted, ” Four years ago, a wealthy friend of mine chose to invest his funds abroad. I challenged his decision, urging him to reconsider for the sake of our country. He attributed his choice to the inconsistency of policies and the influence of vested interests. ” He continued, ” This friend has been taunting me recently, insisting that he warned me and that his predictions have been validated. ”
Dangote expressed his frustration over the backlash against his refinery project, which he initiated to address a significant national issue. ” At 67 years old, I am approaching a time where I need very little for the remainder of my life. My investments, including the refinery, are not for personal gain but for the benefit of my country, ” he explained. ” We have struggled with fuel shortages since the 1970s. This refinery has the potential to resolve these issues, but it seems some individuals are uneasy with my involvement. I am prepared to sell the refinery to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) if that will benefit the country. “
