Aliko Dangote, President and CEO of Dangote Group, has set out an ambitious vision for African industrialization, backed by billions in investment and new refining capacity.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Dangote argues that Africa must invest in its own industrial future to prevent capital from flowing abroad. His industrial philosophy holds that what Africa consumes must be produced and processed within the continent. This push aims to reduce the continent's economic dependence on imported finished products.
