… Donates N8bn to Presidential Library, Pledges N2bn Annually Until Completion
The President and Chief Executive of Dangote Industries Limited, Aliko Dangote, has praised former Head of State, Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, popularly known as IBB, for implementing policies that liberated the private sector in Nigeria during his regime.
Dangote made this statement on Thursday during the unveiling of the book “A Journey in Service”, the autobiography of the former Head of State.
The event also served as a fundraiser for the IBB Presidential Library.
Africa’s wealthiest man donated N8 billion to the IBB Presidential Library, to be paid at N2 billion annually over the four years allocated for the project’s completion.
He further pledged that if the project extends beyond this timeframe, he would continue to donate N2 billion annually until it is finished.
