Africa’s
richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, is a well-known personality in Nigeria and
even across the shores of Africa. The business mogul of repute has several
thousand staff working under his conglomerate. The Christian work force within
the richest man in Africa’s business empire, Dangote Groups Head office are
said to be crying out against religious marginalization this much we gathered.
According to
information at our disposal, Alhaji Dangote, has never withheld
his support to
the Muslim faithful in his company from the lower cadre to the senior level of
the management, thus making it a norm.
“Every
Ramadan season, Alhaji will give the junior staff even up to the cleaner
Ramadan bonus. The senior management staff receives more financial support
including gifts running into thousands of Naira to encourage them as they
observe the religious tenets. Before now, he has been supporting the Christian
faithful within the organisation with money during the Easter or Christmas
period until recently when he stopped extending his hand of fellowship towards
the Christians and solely focused on the Muslim staff alone,” a source
whispered to us.
We also
gathered from another staff that, there is high-level of ill-treatment meted on
the staff as they are not really enjoying the best of time as perceived by
people from the outside.
As you read
this, the Christian faithful at the Falomo-Ikoyi, Lagos based head office of
the business tycoon will protest upon their resumption from the Christmas break
as we learnt that the last Ramadan favoured the Muslim brothers who allegedly
said to have received enormously from the philanthropist business mogul only
for them, Christians, to be sidelined this Christmas.
In an effort
to get the truth, an SMS message was sent to Sunday Esan, the image launderer
of Dangote Groups and he replied thus: “outright Balderdash!”. That was all he
said before we published this story.
Meanwhile,
Dangote Pasta based in Ikorodu was said to have laid off all the staff without
pay, the reason is because the company has been sold to some foreign
investors….We shall file in the full details shortly.
