Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, believes the continent can be transformed into a “heaven” within five years—if Africans think boldly and act with purpose. Speaking at the 32nd Afreximbank Annual Meeting, he emphasized that only Africans can shape their future, urging leaders to prioritize long-term development over personal wealth. Dangote has exemplified this through his $20 billion refinery in Lagos—the largest single-train facility in the world—which is already reshaping Africa’s energy landscape and challenging Europe’s $17 billion gasoline export market. Dangote plans to generate $30 billion in revenue next year and become the top global urea exporter—bringing his vision of African industrial might closer to reality.
