The Owner of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for his support and for being a source of inspiration whenever he felt like abandoning the construction of the Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals.
Dangote stated this during the inauguration of the 650,000 bpd refinery in Lagos State on Monday.
He noted that the desire to go into the petroleum sector began two decades ago, but there were setbacks.
Dangote added that Buhari’s consistent support and encouragement over the last eight years had been a source of great motivation and strength in keeping him from abandoning the refinery construction.
“Let me start with Your Excellency, Mr. President. Your sustained support and encouragement over the past eight years have been, for me personally, a source of great motivation and strength,” Dangote said.
“At times when I felt like giving up, your confidence and quiet words of assurance have made the difference. Mr President, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
