 Aliko Dangote has move up the ladder of success  to the No.25th position on the Forbes List of World Billionaires according to the latest ranking that was released this March 2014. Also, Bill Gate overtook Carlos Slim Helu to regain the the No. 1 position of the world's Billionaires list.

Africa's richest man is looking beyond cement, sugar and flour--the three commodities that built his fortune--to the oil business. In April, he announced $9 billion in financing from a consortium of local and international lenders to construct a private oil refinery, fertilizer and petrochemical complex in the country. His publicly traded Dangote Cement is also grabbing new markets in Africa, with $750 million in new plants planned for Kenya and Niger. He made his first fortune more than three decades ago when he started trading commodities with a loan from his powerful uncle.
