President Muhammadu Buhari warmly felicitates with Africa’s renowned
businessman and philanthropist, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, on his 60th
birthday.
President Buhari joins the business world, Dangote’s friends and family in
congratulating the Forbes’ rated richest African and black man for his
patriotism and kind heartedness in always making sacrifices to safeguard
the health of the nation, most remarkably the polio and Ebola
interventions.
The President believes the global business mogul remains a shining example
of the virtues of choosing entrepreneurship from an early age, treading
the path of diligence, perseverance and continuous learning to build some
of the world’s largest manufacturing and distribution companies, with
household names in Nigeria and beyond.
As Dangote clocks 60, President Buhari commends the humility, simplicity
and cosmopolitan outlook of the entrepreneur who defies ethnic and
religious persuasions in extending support to the poor and vulnerable,
providing employment opportunities without discrimination, while inspiring
and mentoring young Nigerians to greatness.
The President acknowledges Dangote’s role in bolstering the economy
through continuous engagement and counseling of governments on best
practices in promoting the ease of doing business.
He prays that the almighty God will grant Dangote more wisdom, good health
and longer life to serve his country and humanity.
