Businessman Aliko Dangote has released details alleging extensive foreign education expenses incurred for the four children of Engr. Farouk Ahmed, claiming the costs run into several million dollars.
According to the claims, the children reportedly attended secondary schools in Switzerland for about six years each.
The schools named include Montreux School, Aiglon College, Institut Le Rosey and La Garenne International School.
Dangote alleged that the total cost of secondary education for the four children — covering tuition, upkeep, travel and related expenses — exceeded $5 million.
He further claimed that an additional $2 million was spent on university education for the four children over a four-year period.
Specific figures were also cited for 2025, with Dangote alleging that about $210,000 was spent on one child’s Master of Business Administration programme at Harvard University.
The breakdown reportedly includes $150,000 for tuition and $60,000 for accommodation, travel and other incidentals.
The claims have not been independently verified at the time of filing this report. Engr. Farouk Ahmed has yet to publicly respond to the allegations.
