| Alhaji Aliko Dangote |
THE Forbes Magazine has declared Aliko Dangote as the world’s richest
African in the world, just as the world’s richest black woman,
Folorunsho Alakija, is conspicuously missing in the magazine ranking of
the 21 richest Nigerians.
Alakija, an oil tycoon and fashion
designer, reportedly worth at least $3.2 billion edged out African
American Oprah Winfrey, worth more than $2.7 billion, in Forbes 2012
list of richest black people.
However, Forbes said the value of
shares held in quoted companies, size and market share of their
companies, number of companies they own and its assumed value and the
impact of the companies on the Nigerian economy were the yardstick used
in compiling the new list.
Full
list of the richest 21 are Aliko Dangote, founder of Dangote Group,
richest man in Africa and richest black man in the world; Mike Adenuga,
Conoil, Equitorial Trust Bank, Globacom; Femi Otedola, Zenon Oil and
Gas; Orji Uzor Kalu, Slok Group; Cosmos Maduka, Coscharis Group; Jimoh
Ibrahim, Nicon Insurance, Global Fleet; Jim Ovia, Zenith Bank, Visafone;
Pascal Dozie, MTN Nigeria, Diamond Bank; Oba Otudeko, Honeywell Group
Nigeria; Sayyu Dantata, MRS Group.
Others are Umaru Abdul
Mutallab, former Chairman First Bank Plc, Mutallab Group; Samuel
Adedoyin, Doyin Group; Dele Fajemirokun, Chairman Aiico Insurance, Xerox
Nigeria, Chicken Republic, Kings Guards; Cletus Ibeto, Ibeto Group;
Raymond Dokpesi, Daar Communication, AIT; Tony Ezenna, Orange Group;
Molade Okoya Thomas, Chairman CFAO Nig and other six french companies;
