“I trained you to take on any kind of weight on your shoulders and also to be bold and respectful,” he said.

Dangote further said “Jamil has been a son to me even before I realized he had gone inside my garden to pluck my Juliet rose.

“I am here anytime you need me and I love you unconditionally.

“I have done enough homework to know that Jamil will always respect the ground you walk on. Good luck on this new journey my baby. The time has come.
