Dangote to Tinubu: Nigeria Will Thank You When the Results Come In
Africa’s richest man and President of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, has applauded President Bola Tinubu’s economic agenda, expressing optimism that the policies being rolled out will transform Nigeria’s future.
Speaking at the commissioning of the Lekki Deep Sea Port access road in Lagos on Thursday, Dangote described Tinubu’s decisions—such as subsidy removal, tax reform, and the “Nigeria First” policy—as bold and hopeful steps toward lasting economic growth.
“Your Leadership Is Reigniting Hope”
Addressing the president directly, Dangote said:
“Your leadership has been both decisive and reassuring, reigniting hope for a better and more prosperous Nigeria.”
He highlighted several of Tinubu’s major reforms—including the deregulation of the downstream petroleum sector, the effort to ramp up crude oil production, exchange rate unification, the launch of the Presidential CNG Initiative, and a complete overhaul of the national tax system.
“People Will Rush to Aso Rock to Thank You”
Dangote predicted a future surge of public appreciation for Tinubu’s efforts:
“By the time we begin to fully experience the positive impacts of your tax reforms and economic policies, Nigerians will be running to Aso Rock to thank you.”
Nigeria First Policy Applauded
The billionaire also threw his support behind Tinubu’s newly launched “Nigeria First” policy, calling it a game-changer.
“You’re the first African leader to boldly declare a ‘Nigeria First’ policy. In the U.S., it’s ‘America First’—and now Nigeria is stepping up too,” he said.
“It’s a vision that mirrors what we’re doing at Dangote Group—producing locally and focusing on national self-sufficiency. This is the kind of policy that will boost our economy from the inside out.”
Dangote’s endorsement adds momentum to Tinubu’s drive for private-sector-led growth and signals increasing confidence in the long-term direction of Nigeria’s economy.
