Renowned industrialist and president of the Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, GCON, has been named the OurNigeria Magazine’s Man of the Year 2024.

This was announced during a press conference held Tuesday, January 14, 2025, at the FCT City Library, Zone 4, Wuse, Abuja.

The event, organised by the Ournigeria News Magazine, was led by Dr. AK Peters, chairman of the Editorial Board and chairman of the 2024 Ournigeria News Award Planning Committee.

Dangote received the prestigious honour for his monumental achievement in establishing Nigeria’s first private petroleum refinery, a feat hailed as a transformative milestone for the nation.

Dr. Peters noted that this accomplishment epitomises the essence of patriotism and innovation, restoring hope in Nigeria’s potential for greatness.

“What the Nigerian government could not do, Dangote has done,” he stated.

The Ournigeria News Award is an annual event celebrating individuals and organisations that have demonstrated exceptional patriotism and contributed significantly to Nigeria’s progress. This year’s theme, “Nigeria Rising: Celebrating Excellence and Charting the Future,” underscores the commitment to recognising those who inspire hope and foster development.”
