Mike Adenuga
The Nigerian oil, banking and telecoms magnate has, over the years, donated millions of dollars to several educational and religious institutions in Nigeria and Ghana, as well as, to humanitarian relief and the arts, Forbes reports. The second richest black man recently received France’s highest national honour from President Emmanuel Macron “in recognition of his contribution to the development of French-Nigerian relations, his appreciation of the French culture and also for the advancement and betterment of humanity.” This was after Adenuga had spent several millions of dollars in constructing the new headquarters of the Alliance Française Lagos, which is located inside the Mike Adenuga Centre in Lagos.
