Just Wait And See — Dangote Predicts Nigerians Will Thank Tinubu At Aso Rock

Nigerian billionaire and Chairman of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, has praised President Bola Tinubu’s economic policies and programmes, describing them as bold, reassuring, and capable of restoring hope for a brighter future in Nigeria.

Speaking on Thursday during the commissioning of the access road to the Lekki Deep Sea Port in Lagos, Dangote commended the Tinubu administration’s initiatives—such as the removal of fuel subsidy, tax reforms, and the “Nigeria First” policy—saying they are laying the foundation for meaningful economic transformation.

According to Naija News, Dangote remarked that the impact of these reforms will be so significant that Nigerians will eventually flood Aso Rock to express their gratitude.

“Your leadership has been both bold and inspiring. Your actions have rekindled the hope of a better Nigeria, both now and in the future,” he stated. “From day one, Your Excellency has taken deliberate steps to create a business-friendly environment, driving reforms that include the removal of fuel subsidies, deregulation of the petroleum sector, efforts to boost crude oil output, naira exchange rate unification, the presidential CNG initiative, and a complete overhaul of the tax system.”

Dangote added, “Once the full impact of these policies is felt, I believe everyone will be running to Aso Rock to thank you for your foresight and courage.”

On the “Nigeria First” Policy

Dangote also lauded President Tinubu’s “Nigeria First” policy, describing it as a groundbreaking initiative aimed at self-sufficiency and national development.

He said, “This ‘Nigeria First’ approach is commendable. In the U.S., they have ‘America First’, but you are the first African leader to push such a policy at home. It’s a visionary move that aligns perfectly with the Dangote Group’s mission to meet Nigeria’s basic needs through local production.”
