President Buhari congratulates Aliko Dangote on 60th birthday

President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday congratulated businessman and philanthropist, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, on his 60th birthday.

According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President joined 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.”

Adesina said the President believed that the business mogul remained “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.”

Buhari commended the humility, simplicity and cosmopolitan outlook of the entrepreneur who he said 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.
