Aliko Dangote Would Rather Risk Prison Than Lose His Phone

In Lagos on October 19, Aliko Dangote said at an event devoted to his Vision 2020 plan that he would rather go to prison than have his phone confiscated. The Nigerian businessman says his phone book contains more than 13,000 contacts and that he has kept the same number since 2000. He says he is not in the habit of blocking people and regards his phone as an essential tool containing strategic information for his businesses.
