In a recent tweet, former Nigerian Senator Shehu Sani commended billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote for his strategic decision-making.
Sani’s poetic post highlighted Dangote’s foresight in choosing the location for his ventures, implying divine wisdom in his actions.
Sani’s tweet reads: “The Lord gaveth Aliko the Wisdom, He refused to build his Kingdom near the desert, He built it near the Sea, Behold, his Lord saveth him from the rage of the Desert Storm.” This tweet has garnered significant attention, resonating with many who admire Dangote’s business acumen and strategic planning.
Dangote, Africa’s richest man and a prominent industrialist, is well-known for his diverse business interests, including cement, sugar, and salt production. His decision to establish many of his major projects, such as the Dangote Refinery, near coastal areas rather than inland deserts has often been seen as a move to leverage better access to maritime trade routes, which is crucial for the import and export of goods.
Sani’s tweet metaphorically suggests that Dangote’s choice to avoid the “desert” and opt for the “sea” saved him from potential adversities, possibly alluding to economic or environmental challenges. This praise comes at a time when Dangote’s projects, particularly the refinery, are under the spotlight for their potential to significantly impact Nigeria’s economy by reducing dependence on imported refined petroleum products. The acknowledgment from Shehu Sani, a vocal and influential figure in Nigerian politics, adds to the chorus of praise for Dangote’s vision….Sêe_Morē
