The founder of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, has revealed that both local and international criminal organisations, which he described as โmafiaโ, made repeated attempts to sabotage his $19bn refinery project located in Lagos.
Speaking at the Afreximbank Annual Meetings, Dangote likened the oil cartels to a mafia stronger than the drug mafia hell-bent on maintaining their grip on the industry.
โWell, I knew that there would be a fight. But I didnโt know that the mafia in oil, they are stronger than the mafia in drugs. I can tell you that. Yes, itโs a fact,โ he said.
Dangote, who described himself as a fighter, said they โtried all sortsโ to stop him.
