The President and Chief Executive of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has named the main road leading to the Dangote Refinery in Lagos after President Bola Tinubu.
He made the announcement on Thursday during the official commissioning of the Deep Sea Port Access Road, which also links Dangote Fertiliser Plant to the Eleko Junction.
“The Dangote refinery complex is in many ways your brainchild,” he told the president, who was present at the event.
“Mr President, let me just say one thing — the main road going into our refinery is now going to be called Bola Ahmed Tinubu Road.”
He described the president as a “courageous” and “ambitious” leader whose administration has inspired confidence in private sector investment.
“With continued collaboration and shared resolve, we are confident that the journey ahead will usher in even greater opportunities for our people and our country under your courageous and ambitious leadership,” he said.
“Mr President, you are a very courageous leader. Please continue the great work you are doing. Thank you for your support and encouragement.
“Definitely, you should expect more, and you should see more, as this has given us the confidence to do more in supporting your government.”
Following the announcement, President Tinubu stood up and shook hands with the President/CEO of the Dangote Group in a moment that drew applause from dignitaries present.
The Bola Ahmed Tinubu Road stretches through Epe–Ijebu-Ode and connects the Sagamu–Benin Expressway.
