Africa's  richest man, Aliko Dangote, has  stated  that his passion for  industrialised  Nigeria is the  only  reason he  does  not  own  houses outside  Nigeria.
 
  Speaking  during  a media  meet  at  Dangote  Oil  Refinery, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State, Dangote  disclosed  that he once  owned  a  house  in  London  which he sold in 1996.

  He  added:  "The  reason I  do  not  have a  house  in  London or  the  United  States  is  purely  because I wanted to focus on  industrialisation  in Nigeria.| 
 
 
  "I  thought  if I had  these  houses, there  would  be one reason or the other  to visit  these  places  and  distract  myself.
 
  "The  Nigerian  dream  is  very  close  to  my  heart  and  in  addition  to  my  house  in  Lagos,  I have another  in my home state  of  Kano and a rented one in Abuja," he revealed.

  He  added:  "I have  never  seen anyone as hardworking as my  father.  Sometimes  I wonder how he never gives up.
 
  "I wish we  had  a few more men like my father in Nigeria, the country  would  be a better place,"  he  said.
