Ever wondered what a typical weekend is like for a billionaire? After a busy week filled with board meetings and taking important decisions, one would think that these moneybags reserve the weekend exclusively for the purpose of unwinding. Interestingly, this is not always the case. Using this past weekend as basis, we now take you through a quick overview of how some of Nigeria’s wealthiest individuals spend their weekend.
Africa’s wealthiest man, Aliko Dangote, was in New York discussing with Bill Gates at the United Nations 74th General Assembly on ways to leverage partnerships towards the actualisation of the Universal Development Goals, SDGs. In the course of the discussion, Dangote disclosed that one of his companies – Dangote Sugar Refineries Plc – is the first African company to introduce vitamins fortifications into sugar for the sake of children’s nutrition. This was made possible by partnerships with the likes of UNICEF and the Standard Organisation of Nigeria.
