Dangote Accuses Amosun for Demolishing His Cement Plant
Aliko Dangote, President of the Dangote Group, has alleged that former Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, twice demolished his cement plant while it was under construction.
Dangote made the claim on Monday, March 17, 2025, during a meeting with the current governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun.
The meeting, according to a statement from the Ogun State Government, focused on expanding investment opportunities in manufacturing, oil and gas, and energy within the state.

However, in a video circulating on social media, Dangote recounted how his project in Itori was repeatedly brought down during Amosun’s administration.
“I deem it fit to have it on record that the factory we are visiting now in Itori, it’s because of His Excellency that we came back. That factory was demolished twice,” Dangote said.
“We started building, then Amosun demolished it. The second time, we started again, and he demolished not only the factory but also the fencing, so we left. But right now, we’re coming back because of His Excellency, my brother, Prince Dapo Abiodun. When we go there, you’ll be very surprised.”
