Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, celebrated his 68th birthday on April 10, 2025, in grand style, surrounded by friends, family, dignitaries, and admirers from around the world.
Leading the chorus of well-wishers was President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who praised the billionaire industrialist as a symbol of enterprise, innovation, and philanthropy. In a heartfelt statement from Bayo Onanuga, his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, President Tinubu described Dangote as “Africa’s industrial icon”, commending his decades-long commitment to nation-building and economic development.
“Aliko Dangote’s life embodies hard work, generosity, and faith in Nigeria’s potential,” the statement read. “Let his story inspire young Nigerians to pursue enterprise with courage and consistency.”

Boxing champion Anthony Joshua also joined the celebration, adding star power to an already glamorous evening filled with elegance and heartfelt camaraderie.
