Dangote
Aliko Dangote is a Nigerian businessman and the founder of the Dangote Group, a conglomerate with interests in commodities such as cement, sugar, salt, and flour. He is widely regarded as one of Africa's richest individuals and has played a significant role in the continent's industrialization efforts. In recent news, Dangote's petroleum refinery took legal action against the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and other oil marketers, seeking to stop the import of refined petroleum products into Nigeria, arguing that it has the capacity to meet local petroleum needs. The case has significant implications for competition in Nigeria's oil sector.
