Popular billionaire businessman, Aliko Dangote has said he is striving to be as philanthropic as American billionaire, Bill Gates, in the future.
Speaking during a panel session alongside Gates during the Goalkeepers event in the United States on Wednesday, September 25, 2019, Aliko disclosed that the meeting he had with Gates changed him.
He added that he admires Bill’s dedication towards people in countries he is not even familiar with.
His words, “This is somebody that has nothing to do with us in Africa or Nigeria but he is putting his money and his soul, everything.
“He is very committed to helping humanity and that really surprises me a lot and I realised that he is a simple person and I never knew Bill would be this simple.
“He is a very soft-spoken guy and kind-hearted. It is very difficult to find people like Bill in this world.
“Bill, we are very grateful and I can assure you that with my association with Bill, my only prayer is that in the next few years, I will try and give my chunk of wealth to charity.”
“Everyone likes to talk to him, it’s been phenomenal.”
