In a historic move that signals the end of an era, Africa’s richest man and business mogul, Aliko Dangote, has officially retired as Chairman of the Board of Dangote Cement Plc.
The company has announced that Mr. Emmanuel Ikazoboh, a highly respected figure with over 40 years of experience in senior corporate roles across Africa, will now take over as the new Chairman of the Board.
Mr. Ikazoboh previously served as an independent non-executive director at the company. His track record includes leading roles at Deloitte West and Central Africa, Ecobank Transnational Inc., and top firms across Nigeria, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, and South Africa.
This development follows Dangote’s recent retirement from the board of Dangote Sugar and is part of a broader succession plan to strengthen governance within the Dangote Group.
Why This Matters:
Aliko Dangote remains President & CEO of Dangote Industries Limited.
Emmanuel Ikazoboh brings global corporate governance experience to the helm.
A new leadership era is unfolding at one of Africa’s biggest industrial giants.
What’s your take on this bold transition? Will Ikazoboh match the legacy of Africa’s business icon? Let’s hear from you in the comments.
