Buhari praises Dangote as he marks his 63rd birthday

By Muhammad A. Aliyu

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday felicitated foremost industrialist, investor and philanthropist, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, on the occasion of his 63rd birthday anniversary, wishing him and his loved ones a splendid day.

A statement issued by Special Adviser to the President (Media and Publicity), Femi Adesina, on Friday, said the president saluted the large-heartedness of Africa’s wealthiest man, noting that it is one thing to be so blessed, and another to use the wealth to the glory of God and for the good of humanity.

According to him: “Alhaji Dangote has always stood to be counted whenever it mattered, judging by his generous contributions to the fight against polio, Ebola disease, the current Coronavirus, and many other challenges which have faced Nigeria, and indeed, the African continent.”

President Buhari prayed to God to grant the great son of Nigeria long life, good health, and further successes in all areas of endeavour.
