Aliko Dangote, The Richest Man in Africa is getting Richer and Richer as Dangote Cement doubles its production capacity in 2014;

Aliko Dangote – Founder and Chairman Dangote Group

Truly, the rich would always get richer and the poor might get poor and poorer unless he or she begins to invest, one of the secrets i have discovered from the rich people, is that they keep on investing and expanding their capacity- Chiugo Anthony Josephat-Nwokolo

I foresee Aliko dominating the African economy in the next years ahead, with the billions of dollars he is raising and investing in oil refinery to the billions he is pumping in to expanding the capacity of his cement industries across Africa, I think he will cling on to the No. 1 Richest person in Africa for something until person offers more of essential commodities as he does. I implore you to let that seed in your hand today be placed into the soil, so that it shall not tarry alone or you spend it, but if you sow (invest) it today, tomorrow you shall read the fruits. Think about it. This is the secret for success.

Nigeria’s biggest company by market capitalization, Dangote Cement, expects to double its cement production capacity across Africa this year to 40 million metric tons ( 44.092 million tons).

The company will add 9 million tons to its Nigeria operations, bringing them to 29 million tons, and open plants across Africa that have been several years in the making, adding a further 11 million tons.

Dangote Cement, owned by Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote with a personal fortune of US$25 billion, saw its 2013 profits increase by 40 percent to 190.76 billion naira (US$1.16 billion), from 135.64 billion naira (US$ 825 million) a year earlier.

Dangote has cement plants spanning Africa, from Senegal to South Africa, but most have been in construction phase and between them they contribute less than a million tons to the group’s current overall production capacity.

That will change this year, as plants in Senegal, Sierra Leone, Cameroon, Zambia, South Africa and Ethiopia come into operation in the current year.

Additional capacity in Ivory Coast, Ghana, Liberia, Tanzania, Congo and in Nigeria would mean that by mid-2016 Dangote Cement would have a 60 million ton capacity.

Almost all of this expansion has been funded with internal cash flows, unlike rivals firms.
