Dangote motivated his workers
Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that a clip of Dangote addressing some workers went viral. According to a Twitter user, Omasoro Ali Ovie, the people in the video are employees working at his new fertiliser plant.
The tweep also said the meeting happened when the plant was running a production test run. With facemasks on, the employees acknowledged Dangote's words as they swiftly returned to monitoring engine performance on their desktop computers.
Other higher members of staff were present, standing beside the billionaire businessman who wore a white shirt and what looks like black trousers. As at the time of writing this report, the short video has been watched thousands of times on Twitter with people commending Dangote for speaking to his employees directly.
