Now I believe I have money – Dangote
Speaking at the Mo Ibrahim governance weekend, in Abidjan Aliko Dangote, said framing is not a poor man’s business, you can actually get rich faster with farming.
Speaking further he said to convince himself that he is rich he withdrew $10 million from a bank just to look at it.
He said “After a year or so, I realised that I had much more, and I said ok, fine, all these numbers are just written numbers.
“One day I went to a bank, and at that time, there were no restrictions, and I wrote a cheque and cashed $10m from the bank and put it in the boot of my vehicle, and I went home and I opened it and I looked at $10m and I said ‘now I believe I have money’.”
He also said that Nigeria will be the largest exporter of cement in Africa by the end of this year and that the Dangote refinery at the end of the day will give 650 barrel of crude and 32 million tonnes of products.
Dangote also said that he does not have a house in London but he knows those who work for him that have houses in London.
