President of Dangote Industries Limited, Aliko Dangote, has disclosed that he bought his first private jet at the age of 22 and a half.

He also urged wealthy Nigerians to channel more of their resources into productive investments rather than expensive luxury assets.
Dangote said investing wealth in production was essential to building a stronger Nigerian economy.
“I try as much as I can to encourage people who are riding $900 million aircraft to please go and put that into production. We are not going to be a great nation without doing something productive,” he said.
