Brother’s Keeper … Femi Otedola Visits Dangote Refinery
Billionaires Femi Otedola and Aliko Dangote are big chapters in the book on Nigeria’s economy . They’re closer than friends and nearer than brothers, these two individuals demonstrate a commitment to each other’s interests that is rare.
Otedola has once again renewed the hope of many onlookers in camaraderie. Posting a picture on social media of himself and Dangote standing side-by-side, Otedola waxed lyrical about his visit to the latter’s refinery and the amazing things that Dangote is doing.
According to Otedola, that visit to Dangote Refinery is akin to a visit to the eighth wonder of the world. Updating Nigerians on the refinery, Otedola stated that production has started and the Guinness Book of Records should be preparing a slot for Dangote in which the refinery will be captured as the World’s Largest Single Train Petroleum Refinery.
With Otedola’s enthusiasm, one can imagine how gladdened Dangote feels to be friends with him. It is not every day on billionaire hypes another on the latter’s accomplishments. Often, it is a matter of one copying the other to establish a business and doing whatever needs to be done to steal the prospects. But Otedola is not like that, and Dangote loves him for it.
It is now obvious that Otedola will take every opportunity to praise Dangote for the refinery and also publicise the national benefits to be had on account of the refinery. This has endeared Otedola to well-meaning and informed Nigerians who also recognize what the refinery can bring to the country’s coffers and future.
Regarding friendship, few can compete with Otedola. To think that he is not celebrating the emergence of his Geregu Power PLC as a company with its stocks valued above N1 trillion with as much as he is celebrating Dangote’s refinery. Where can one find such a brother’s keeper?
