Nigerian business tycoon Aliko Dangote on Monday marked his Diamond Jubilee at the Nigerian stock exchange.
After beating the closing gong for the N17 trillion stock market he promised to continue sharing his wealth with Nigerians. He said he'll continue to work with the Nigerian government for the betterment of Nigerians.
”We will continue to diversify the economy, working with the government to spread prosperity to Nigerians,” Dangote said at a colourful ceremony attended by corporate titans and key stakeholders in the capital market.
Visibly emotional, Dangote promised to continue to forge ahead with the battle to diversify the economy and spread prosperity.
“Very soon, we will start having our Annual General Meeting (AGM) in stadium, not halls, due to the large shareholders we will be targeting. We will be having up to two million shareholders in the next 10 years,” Dangote said.
Dangote’s companies, including Dangote Cement, Dangote Sugar Refinery, Dangote Flour Mills and Nascon Allied Industries, are all listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). The four companies account for N2.923 trillion at the close of the market, representing one-third of the N8.87 trillion total market capitalisation of quoted equities.
Dangote Cement is the largest listed company, with market value of N2.805 trillion, 31.6 per cent of total equities value of N8.867 trillion.
