Aliko Dangote has revealed that he once withdrew $10 million just to prove to himself that he was rich.
Dangote who is Africa’s richest man revealed this on Saturday, April 6, at the Mo Ibrahim governance weekend in Abidjan, while he was chatting with the convener, Mo Ibrahim.
Dangote said, “The way it is that when you first start a business, your target is to make your first million. Fine, I did that.
“After a year or so, I realised that I had much more, and I said ok, fine, all these numbers are just written numbers.
“One day I went to a bank, and at that time, there were no restrictions, and I wrote a cheque and cashed $10m from the bank and put it in the boot of my vehicle, and I went home and I opened it and I looked at $10m and I said ‘now I believe I have money’.”
Meanwhile, the Chief Executive Officer of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, has called on governors in Northern Nigeria to do more in mobilizing local private sector investors in their states.
