“I still complained to President Kagame. I told him that as an investor, I have to now apply for 35 different visas on my passport, and I told Mr. President, I really don’t have the time to go and be dropping my passports in embassies to get a visa,” Dangote remarked.

He highlighted the disparity in travel freedom, pointing out that individuals with French passports, like Patrick Pouyanne, chairman of Total Energies, do not face the same restrictions. “You don’t need 35 visas on your French passport. This means you have a freer movement than myself in Africa,” Dangote noted.
