Dangote Group Refutes False Claims

Dangote Group has issued multiple statements refuting false and malicious publications. These publications alleged a rift between its President, Aliko Dangote, and business leader Tony Elumelu, and inaccurately claimed that Dangote Petroleum Refinery was financed through personal borrowing from friends. Dangote Group clarified that Aliko Dangote and Tony Elumelu maintain a cordial relationship and that project financing is not done through personal loans. The company also expressed concern over the unauthorized use of Aliko Dangote's name and image in AI-generated advertisements and misleading content, warning of reputational harm and potential fraud. Dangote Group stated its intention to pursue legal action against those involved in spreading false information to protect its reputation and leadership.
