Africa\u2019s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has declared that he has no personal house outside Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The business mogul said this at the 2019 Mo Ibrahim Forum.<\/p>\n

Dangote hinted that he avoids luxury things \u201cbecause they distract and take time\u201d.<\/p>\n

Dangote said: \u201cI don\u2019t have any holiday home anywhere. I don\u2019t have a house anywhere but I know people who are working for me\u2026they have houses in London.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut you see, a lot of people, even the younger ones, we need to be very careful because one of biggest issues with us as Africans is that we spend our projected incomes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are ups and downs in business so you need to be very focused.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked of his opinion on areas young entrepreneurs should invest in, Dangote replied: \u201cThe sectors to focus on now are ICT and agriculture. These are the 2 promising sectors.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
