President Tinubu Congratulates Dangote on Global Role with World Bank Investment Lab.

President Bola Tinubu has extended his congratulations to Aliko Dangote following his appointment to the World Bank’s Private Sector Investment Lab — an international advisory group focused on increasing private investments and creating jobs in developing countries.

In a statement by his Special Adviser, Bayo Onanuga, the President described the appointment as well-deserved, citing Dangote’s impressive business record and contributions to economic growth in Africa.

He highlighted Dangote’s role in building a major industrial empire through innovation and sustained investment, with special mention of the $20 billion Lagos refinery project as a standout example of private-sector leadership.

Tinubu urged Dangote to leverage his expertise to help shape the World Bank’s global development strategy and support other emerging economies in achieving similar progress.

He also acknowledged Dangote’s position among other world-renowned business leaders joining the expanded Lab, which aims to tackle development issues such as unemployment and infrastructure gaps through private-sector solutions.
