New York, NY (1888PressRelease) July 10, 2025 - Lagos, Nigeria, 9 july, 2025, Dangote Industries Limited, the powerhouse behind Africa’s most diversified manufacturing group, continues to solidify its position as a trailblazer in industrialization and economic empowerment across the continent. Under the visionary leadership of Founder, President, and CEO, Aliko Dangote, the Dangote Group is steadily advancing its mission to become the leading provider of essential daily needs in Sub-Saharan Africa.

From cement to food to petrochemicals, Dangote’s impact is tangible in the lives of millions. With operations in 17 African countries, the Group has not only established itself as a household name but also as a symbol of resilience, innovation, and sustainable growth.
Its flagship subsidiary, Dangote Cement Plc, remains the largest listed company in West Africa and made history as the first Nigerian company to be listed on the Forbes Global 2000 Companies list.

“Our goal has always been to transform Africa from a continent of potential into a continent of productivity,” said Aliko Dangote, speaking on the Group’s continued expansion. “We are not just building factories — we are building economies, jobs, and opportunities for future generations.”

Dangote Cement, which operates three integrated cement plants in Nigeria and a network of operations across the continent, has become a cornerstone of Africa’s infrastructure boom. Through sustained investment in logistics, energy, and industrial capacity, the Group has successfully localized production, reduced import dependence, and fostered pan-African trade in line with the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agenda.

The Group’s efforts extend far beyond business. Through the Aliko Dangote Foundation, it is making significant contributions in the areas of health, education, and poverty alleviation. Recent partnerships with international organizations have seen the Group deliver life-saving health interventions, support education programs, and strengthen communities from Lagos to Dakar.

“Economic inclusion is the backbone of true development,” added Dangote. “We believe that every African should have access to the products and opportunities that enable a better life. That is the driving force behind everything we do.”

Looking ahead, the Dangote Group is preparing to commission several new projects, including its petroleum refinery and fertilizer plant, both poised to significantly reduce Nigeria’s reliance on imports and improve food and energy security. These mega-projects underscore the Group’s commitment to value addition and national self-sufficiency.

With an unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, and social impact, Dangote Industries Limited continues to reshape the African industrial landscape — not only meeting the continent’s essential needs, but creating the conditions for long-term prosperity.
