Billionaire industrialist Aliko Dangote has accused former Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, of twice demolishing his cement plant while it was under construction.
Dangote made the revelation during a meeting with Governor Dapo Abiodun on Monday, March 17, 2025.
According to a statement from the Ogun State Government, the discussion centered on expanding investment opportunities in manufacturing, oil and gas, and energy within the state.
However, in a video circulating on social media, Dangote recounted how the Amosun administration repeatedly destroyed the factory, forcing his company to abandon the project.
“I deem it fit to have it on record that the factory we are visiting now in Itori, it’s because of his excellency that we came back. That factory was demolished twice,” Dangote stated.
“We started building, then Amosun demolished it. The second time, we started again, he demolished not only the factory, including the fencing, so we left.
“But right now, we’re coming back because of his excellency, my brother, Prince Dapo Abiodun. When we go there, you’ll be very surprised.”
