Aliko Dangote Prioritizes Phone Over Private Jet Access

At an event in Lagos where he unveiled his Vision 2030 plan, Aliko Dangote, the chairman of the Dangote Group, expressed that he would rather go to prison than spend a week without his mobile phone. He highlighted the significance of the device in his life, stating that losing it would be extremely difficult.

Dangote mentioned that his phone contains more than 13,000 contacts, reflecting his vast personal and professional network. He explained that his contact list has grown so large because he rarely blocks people, which has contributed to the accumulation of contacts.

The Dangote Group is recognized as one of Africa's largest industrial conglomerates, with diverse business interests including cement production, fertiliser manufacturing, and oil refining.
