GET INSIPIRED BY AFRICA`S RICHEST MAN
Aliko Dangote, president of Africa’s biggest conglomerate,
Dangote Group, is the richest man in Africa and richest black man in the world.
Coming from a humble beginning to sit on
top a vast business empire that spans across various countries in Africa, you
can’t help but ask how he has used his wealth to touch the lives of the down
trodden in society.
Besides employing thousands of qualified people in his
conglomerate, Dangote has been involved in one form of philanthropic gesture or
the other. Following the wave of violence that swept through most parts of
Northern Nigeria in the aftermath of the 2011 general elections, the
multi-billionaire businessman gave displaced persons $600 (about N100,000) each
to help ameliorate the effect of the crisis. He’s also known to have donated
millions to education, health and social causes.
Nowadays,
he counts those same names he has been frequently compared with – the Bill
Gates and Warren Buffetts – as the inspiration behind his decision to step up
his giving and making it public.
