Nigerian oil business mogul and Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote has hinted that he is searching for a companion.
Dangote who has been an eligible bachelor for years, revealed to Financial Times that at the age of 60 years, what he needed most was someone to keep him company when he is out on dates.
“I’m not getting younger. Sixty years is no joke…but it doesn’t make sense to go out and get somebody if you don’t have the time. Right now, things are really, really very busy, because we have the refinery, we have the petrochemicals, we have the fertiliser, we have the gas pipeline…I need to calm down a bit.”said Aliko Dangote who is specializing in oil, food processing, cement manufacturing and freight services.
Even though he is single, two times divorced Aliko has got three daughters, Fatima, Mariya and Halima. All are married with the youngest Fatima whose flashy wedding in March 2018 was attended by billionaire Bill Gates.
The owner of Dangote Group seems to battle with finding time to rest his body.
Tony Blair , former France PM had earlier advised him to screen his calls after it became clear that he was receiving more than 100 calls per day.
Besides doctors have warned him that he needs a sleep of more than 5 hours.
Aliko Dangote has expressed big interests to buy English football giants Arsenal FC
