Billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote has expressed confidence in the next generation of his family, stating that he does not see having a son as necessary to secure his legacy. In an interview with Arise News, Dangote said he was satisfied with the achievements of his three daughters — Mariya, Halima, and Fatima — and rejected the idea that a male heir would necessarily have produced better results. "I don't think a son would have done better than the three daughters I have," he said. The 69-year-old businessman said he preferred to accept what God had given him rather than pursue a particular family outcome simply because of expectations surrounding male heirs. He also spoke about what will happen to his wealth after his lifetime.
