Aliko Dangote, the President of Dangote Group, has accused former Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, of demolishing his cement plant twice during his tenure. Dangote made the claims during a meeting with Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, on Monday, March 17, 2025. The meeting, which was centered around expanding investment opportunities in the state’s manufacturing, oil and gas, and energy sectors, provided a platform for the industrialist to voice his grievances.
According to a statement issued by the Ogun State Government, the discussions also aimed at fostering stronger economic growth and business development within the state.
However, in a video that surfaced on social media, Dangote alleged that the administration of former Governor Amosun had twice destroyed his cement factory while it was still under construction. He said: “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. “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, we’re now back. When we go there you’ll be very surprised.”
