How ex-Ogun Gov, Amosun demolished my factory twice – Dangote

Billionaire industrialist Aliko Dangote has accused former Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, of twice demolishing his cement factory during his administration.

Dangote made this statement on Monday, March 17, 2025, while meeting with Governor Dapo Abiodun in Ogun State.

The meeting, according to a statement from the Ogun State Government, focused on expanding investment opportunities in manufacturing, oil and gas, and energy.

However, in a viral video from the event, Dangote spoke on his frustration over the past demolitions, revealing that his company abandoned the project due to Amosun’s actions.

“I deem it fit to have it on record that the factory we are visiting now in Itori, it’s because of His Excellency that we came back. That factory was demolished twice.

“We started building, then Amosun demolished it. The second time, we started again, he demolished not only the factory, including the fencing, so we left.

“But right now, we’re coming back because of His Excellency, my brother, Prince Dapo Abiodun. We’re now back. When we go there, you’ll be very surprised.”
