After a meeting with President Tinubu, Aliko Dangote urged Nigeria’s wealthy class to channel spending away from luxury cars and private jets toward industrial investment that can drive growth and jobs. Punch reports that Dangote framed the call as a cultural and policy-era comparison, arguing that restrained elite consumption in earlier periods contrasted sharply with today’s conspicuous spending. He warned that capital tied up in prestige assets could be far more transformative if redirected into manufacturing and large-scale productive ventures. Source: Punch, December 7, 2025.
