In the league of extraordinary men of valor, Alhaji Aliko Dangote ranks high with a long altitude. The illustrious son of Nigeria is bent on putting his fatherland on the global map as a destination for business investment with his audacious projects. Many wonder what goes through Aliko Dangote’s mind every time he sits to conceptualize these projects that do not only employ thousands but further position Nigeria as truly the giant of Africa. Those close to Dangote disclosed that his dreams are scary as they look so unrealistic. Over the years, he has created possibility out of every impossibility.
Detractors and naysayers who have tried to undermine his grace and hard work are beginning to see that apart from his enormous wealth, he is truly a man who will go all out to achieve his set goals with much gusto. Years ago, when he made his intention to construct the biggest fertilizer plant in Africa and also a refinery that will bring an end to the export of petroleum products, many thought the dream was never going to turn into reality. Again, Aliko has shown the world that any dream can be actualized with hard work and dedication. On Tuesday, March 22, those, who visited the site of the second-largest fertilizer plant in the world were mesmerized. All attendees at the grand launch wowed at the level of progress made in the actualisation of one of his tall dreams.
