Published 8h agoAt the recent African Renaissance Retreat in Kigali, Rwanda, Aliko Dangote, the President of the Pan-African conglomerate, Dangote Group, highlighted the immense potential that Africa has, despite its significant challenges.

Additionally, it possesses 65% of the world’s arable land and 10% of the planet’s renewable freshwater sources. These assets, Dangote argued, are crucial for attaining economic prosperity not just within Africa but across the globe. His enterprises span sectors from cement and fertilisers to sugar and petrochemicals,"The good news is that despite these challenges, we have succeeded in building a pan-African Group that employs over 50,000 people and generates revenues that should exceed $30 billion by the end of 2025," he said.
