The commendation from President Tinubu emphasized the outstanding industry of Aliko Dangote, recognising his far-reaching impact that extends beyond the borders of Nigeria.

The National Order of the Lion thus holds a significant place in Senegal’s system of honours, acknowledging outstanding contributions across various sectors.
