In this letter, Dangote specifically pointed out the transformative Bar Beach Land Reclamation project known as Eko Atlantic City. He also praised the ongoing superhighway constructions across the country, which he believes are crucial for Nigeria’s growth and development.
The open letter, titled “Open Letter To President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR: Appreciation,” was shared by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Information and Strategy, via his X handle. It contained a detailed analysis of the impact of these projects on the nation’s landscape and economy.
Dangote drew a comparison between the success of Eko Atlantic City and the devastating flash flooding in Kerr County, Texas, which resulted in over 100 lives lost. He emphasized the importance of proactive measures in managing natural disasters and ensuring public safety.

He expressed admiration for Tinubu’s foresight in initiating Eko Atlantic City, a modern city spanning 1,000 hectares and protected by an 8.5-kilometre-long sea wall. This project has effectively shielded Victoria Island from coastal erosion and provided new land for development. Dangote noted that the success of this project is now being used for residential, business, and recreational purposes, significantly benefiting the residents of Victoria Island.
He further appreciated the President’s efforts in addressing the issue of perennial flooding affecting various areas such as Ahmadu Bello Way, Akin Adesola Street, Bishop Oluwole Street, and others. Dangote acknowledged the exemplary intervention in ending the era of ocean surge and tackling the persistent problem of flooding.
Beyond flood control, Dangote commended Tinubu for launching major infrastructure projects, including the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway and the Sokoto-Badagry superhighway. He particularly highlighted the latter as a “resurrection of a 48-year-old project,” emphasizing the significance of these developments.
These projects are being handled by Hitech Construction Company Limited, a first-rate construction and civil engineering firm. Dangote noted the importance of such collaborations in driving national progress.
He also drew parallels between Nigeria’s land reclamation efforts and successful projects in Zeeland, Netherlands, where submerged land was transformed into usable dry land primarily for agriculture and settlement. Dangote stated that this effort is a testament to Dutch ingenuity and perseverance in managing water resources and creating a habitable landscape in a challenging environment.
In a gesture of corporate social responsibility, Dangote Industries Limited extended condolences to the families affected by the Texas flooding incident. The letter concluded with an announcement that the Aliko Dangote Foundation would soon be announcing plans to contribute to a Climate Fund targeting vulnerable parts of the country susceptible to natural disasters.
Onanuga, reacting to the commendation, noted that Dangote’s position offered an honest assessment of Tinubu’s leadership, contrasting sharply with opposition claims that the president has achieved nothing in the past two years. This recognition highlights the positive impact of Tinubu’s administration on Nigeria’s development and resilience against natural challenges.
