2 days ago1/ Born in 1957 in Kano, Dangote started his business career early — trading commodities, then moved into manufacturing.
2/ Today, he leads the Dangote Group, with major interests in cement (via Dangote Cement), sugar, flour, oil refining and petrochemicals.
3/ His estimated net worth sits around US$13+ billion according to recent listings.
4/ Key milestone: His massive oil refinery & fertiliser complex near Lagos — a strategic move aiming to reduce Nigeria’s fuel import dependence.
5/ Despite his fortune, Dangote often emphasises local manufacturing and job creation, not just asset accumulation.
6/ However — his wealth and projects also raise questions around land use, environmental impact and how benefits are shared with nearby communities.
7/ Takeaway: Dangote’s story shows how one person’s business vision can scale to national (and continental) impact — for better and for more complex trade-offs.
