“Celebrate true friends. They are a part of you that always sparkles. – Amy Leigh Mercree”,.
Perhaps, this English born actress had the boss of Oando Group, Jubril Adewale Tinubu in mind when she made this quote. The trained lawyer never forgets to celebrate and appreciates his good friends whenever it is necessary. In fact, he is one gentleman who values and understands the definition of true friendship.
Last Tuesday , this came to play when he showered praises on his friend of many years, Africa’s richest man and Chairman of Aliko Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote when he clocked 66 on Monday, 10th 2023.
The oil and gas top player wrote:
Happy Birthday to an extraordinary business leader of global recognition. Your phenomenal impact on the African economy and society is truly remarkable. Your drive, dedication, and leadership have paved the way for an army of aspiring African entrepreneurs.
We are proud to have you as one our own, and I wish you many more happy, healthy and prosperous years ahead!
Dangote, that name means so many things to many people. But what no one can deny is the fact that the name is essentially synonymous with success.
The Kano State-born mogul has successfully engraved his name in the hearts of the generality of his compatriots with his business acumen.
Like every creature, this amiable billionaire too has his own humble beginning. But this is one that will inspire any ambitious soul, any day and any time. As a young man, he had a clear vision of what he wanted to do later in life and he pursued it with unwavering doggedness. While growing up, the only thing that caught his fancy was business and he refused to be swayed by any other interest.
Though he started out as a trader at 21, he is today the Africa’s leading businessman. His chain of companies is spread across 16 countries around the world and he has over 25,000 people in his employment. He is the richest African man on the planet, with several billions of dollars as personal fortune.
