Dangote Group

Dangote Industries Limited is a diversified and fully integrated conglomerate with a commitment to becoming the leading provider of essential needs in food and shelter across Sub-Saharan Africa. Founded by Aliko Dangote in 1981, the Group's core business focuses on manufacturing and importing key commodities such as cement, sugar, flour, salt, and fertilizer. With an annual group turnover exceeding US$4 billion, the company has established itself as the largest conglomerate in West Africa. Its headquarters is located in Lagos, Nigeria, with extensive operations spanning 17 African countries.

The company's strategy centers around backward integration and local manufacturing capabilities, which not only generates employment but also contributes significantly to reducing Nigeria's dependence on imports. Dangote Cement is one of its notable subsidiaries, recognized as the largest cement producer in Africa. The Group is systematically expanding its operations and market share by investing in various sectors, including agriculture, petroleum refining, and petrochemicals. Notably, the Dangote Refinery, inaugurated in May 2023, is claimed to be the largest single-train refinery globally, underscoring the Group's ambition to ensure the accessibility of high-quality petroleum products across Nigeria.
