Billionaire businessman, Aliko Dangote discloses that he resides in a rented property in Abuja while stating reasons for refusing to own houses abroad.
Dangote made this declaration during a media conversation at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State, on Sunday, July 14.
The industrialist explained that his commitment to an industrialized Nigeria is the primary reason for not owning houses outside the country.
He mentioned that he previously owned a house in London but sold it in 1996.
“The reason I don’t have a London or America house is solely because I wanted to focus on industrialization in Nigeria. I figured that if I had those houses, there will be one reason or the other for me to visit those places thereby causing distraction for me.
“I am very passionate about the Nigeria dream and apart from my Lagos house, I have another one in my home state Kano and a rented one in Abuja,” he reveal
