Chairman of Dangote Group Aliko Dangote has said one of his dreams is to be the biggest philanthropist in the continent.

Dangote said this on Wednesday while disbursing N130 million micro grant to 13,000 vulnerable and less privileged women in Lafia, Nasarawa State.

According to him, “I do not only want to be known as Africa’s richest man but the biggest philanthropist in Africa. I will continue to use my resources and my voice to help shape a better Nigeria and Africa as a whole.”

He added that he began the foundation in 1993 to improve the lives of the less fortunate and, revealing that the four major goals of the foundation were health and nutrition, education, economic empowerment and disaster relief.

Dangote explained that the grant scheme was one of the components of the economic empowerment programme of the foundation.

He said it was aimed at providing disadvantaged and vulnerable women in the country with a one-off unconditional N10, 000 cash transfer to boost their household income generation.

In addition, he said, ” This we believe will help their vulnerability and meet their livelihood needs.

“It is estimated that we would spend about N10 billion with some states with a large population getting a little bit more.
