Aliko Dangote from The Nigerian Anatomy, the new “Economic Messiah” has become a Masterpiece through his brilliant entrepreneurial strides as Chair of the Dangote Group, which is one of Africa’s biggest companies. The primary school student who started selling candles for profit with the hope of becoming a great business man has worked it out.
With a loan of 500,000 Naira from his grandfather Alhaji Sanusi Dantata back in 1977 to start his own business, Dangote was able to become financially dependent within 4 years.
“I enjoy myself a lot but I derive more joy in working. I believe in hard work and one of my business secrets is hard work. It’s hard to see a youth that will go to bed by 2 am and wake up by 5 am, I won’t rest until I achieve something” – Aliko Dangote
Aliko Dangote stands out as the richest Man in Africa with over 30,000 employed people in his various specialities. Aliko Dangote remains one of the few entrepreneurs to domestically produce cement in Africa to other ends of the continent of which he produces about 41.3 million tonnes per annum.
Dangote’s specialty in Flour, Cement, Oil and Sugar has led to a new industrial era springing from Africa, that The Global Freedom Board of AFRICAN VOICES INTERNATIONAL, hails. His vast production which spreads to Ghana, Togo, Benin, Cote D’Ivoire and many counties across the West African terrain and beyond is a message, that indeed the African Man is capable of managing his own affairs as said by Dr. Nkrumah.
