*President Bola Tinubu (r) and Alhaji Aliko Dangote (l)

The founder of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote has said his hair went grey due to efforts to set up his refinery.

Dangote also disclosed that the refinery was a brainchild of President Bola Tinubu.

Addressing newsmen on Tuesday, Dangote said Tinubu dreamt about establishing a refinery in Lagos State about 18 years ago.

According to Dangote: “There are no limits to how far I can travel, ours is to make our country and Africa proud; the journey just started and we will continue. Five or six years ago, I had no grey hair but now it’s history as we are able to deliver. So, I can say it’s a golden grey hair which is worth it.

“Petrol from the Dangote refinery is MS5 one of the best in the world, it would save engines, its like water which people have never seen before.

“I thank the governor of Lagos for giving us all the necessary support, 10 years ago; there was almost nothing here but this is what you call a dream. President Tinubu, then governor of Lagos dreamt of establishing this about 18 years ago, but nobody thought about coming here.

“My first here was in 2015 when I came to see the land but you can see today. This is Euro5, you can put this in your engine and begin to run, it will give your engine the best performance.”
