Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has shared an unexpected detail about his personal life, disclosing that he has more than 13,000 contacts saved on his mobile phone.

The billionaire businessman made the disclosure during an event in Lagos, where he unveiled his Vision 2030 plan for Africa’s industrial revolution.

During an interactive session, Dangote was asked to choose between spending one week without his phone or going without his private jet.

“Ah… I think it’s easier you put me in prison than to take my phone away. So, you know, I mean taking my phone away is no-go area, okay?” he said.

But beyond his strong attachment to the device, Dangote had another surprising detail to share.
