Gov Bello extols Dangote’s virtues at 65

Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has congratulated the Chairman and CEO of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, on the occasion of his 65th birthday.

Governor Bello, in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Muhammed Onogwu, on Sunday, described Dangote as a passionate Nigerian, who has shown commitment in turning the economic tides of the country through his massive investments in the nation and West Africa at large.

The governor added that the business mogul’s effort in ensuring food security and the development of the agricultural sector in the country led to the conception and actualisation of the recently commissioned Dangote fertilizer company which would “in no small way impact that sector”.

He noted that among the giant strides of the celebrant was the employment of the country’s teeming youths, which he said has contributed to the socio economic development of Nigeria.

He stated that Dangote’s philanthropic disposition has touched millions of lives positively.

Governor Bello, therefore, prayed to God to grant Dangote good health and “many more years to continue to contribute immensely and impact positively on our nation.”
