Through the Aliko Dangote Foundation, Alhaji Aliko Dangote has consistently demonstrated that economic prosperity is hollow without the intellectual development of the people. His massive footprints in education span the construction of world-class business schools, the funding of cutting-edge research facilities, and the provision of critical infrastructure for tertiary and basic institutions across the continent. By bridging the gap between industry and academia, he has re-defined the role of corporate leadership in national development. For his monumental contributions to institutional growth and his global vision for African development, Alhaji Aliko Dangote is honorably inducted into the Education Hall of Fame.”
