Over the years, the mega city of Lagos continues to maintain its position as the city of prosperity. In most parts of Nigeria, many persons normally depart from their homes to Lagos for greener pastures.
The large population in the state makes it easy for businesses to flourish.
Many youths see ‘coming to Lagos’ as a first step towards success.
However, this success can be achieved through hard work and dedication.
Aliko Dangote is one of such youths, who left home in search for success.
Today, he is recognised as Africa’s richest man.
It is on this basis that the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Monday, applauded Dangote.
Sanwo-Olu hailed Dangote on the opening of his Refinery at the Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos state.
The Refinery complex is located in the Lekki Free Zone and happens to be the biggest in Africa.
It is also the biggest single-train refinery in the world.

Speaking at the refinery’s inauguration, Sanwo-Olu says Dangote had nothing when he came in from Kano 45 years ago.
