Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote reiterated that he would prefer prison to losing his phone, which he considers indispensable. He explained at an event in Lagos that he has kept the same number since 2000 and that his address book contains more than 13,000 contacts, according to Tuko.
Nigerian businessman Aliko Dangote said he would rather be sent to prison than be deprived of his mobile phone. The chairman of the Dangote Group, one of Africa's leading industrial conglomerates, was speaking in Lagos during the presentation of his Vision 2030 plan, Kenyan media outlet Tuko reports.
Asked to choose between spending a week without his phone or giving up his private jet, Dangote explained that parting with his phone would be more difficult for him. He said he had kept the same number since 2000 and had more than 13,000 contacts in his address book. He rarely blocks people and answers calls, according to Tuko.
Dangote runs a group active notably in cement and fertiliser production as well as oil refining. He had previously made similar remarks about the importance of his phone, in an article published on 19 October (Aliko Dangote prefers prison to having his phone confiscated).
