Billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola said President Bola Tinubu’s willingness to undertake difficult yet necessary reforms is strengthening Nigeria’s economy.
Otedola stated this in an X post on Friday, a day after the president visited the $20 billion Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical Plant in Lekki, Lagos, where he also commissioned the newly completed Lekki Deep Sea Port Access Road projects.
At Thursday’s event, Tinubu described four of Nigeria’s most influential businessmen, Aliko Dangote, Otedola, Jim Ovia, and Abdulsamad Rabiu, as the “four wise men” of Nigeria’s economy, praising their bold investments and unwavering faith in the country’s future.
Otedola, who said he witnessed history, praised the president for visiting the refinery.
He said, “Over two decades ago, as Governor of Lagos State, President Tinubu envisioned an economic powerhouse on the Atlantic coast, what we now know as the Lekki Free Trade Zone. Today, that vision stands tall in steel, concrete, and ambition.”
The Chairman of Geregu Power Plc added, “A great leader takes people where they don’t necessarily want to go, but ought to be. That is the essence of President Tinubu.
“Nigeria is rising and those of us who believe in her will continue to support the bold reforms that will make her the greatest transformation story of the 21st century.”
