Abdulsamad Rabiu drops to sixth in Africa’s rich list after losing N12.40bn, Dangote retains top position

-

 

The founder of BUA Foods, Abdulsamad Rabiu, lost 0.66 percent of his wealth on Monday despite the rise in the value of his staple food company.

However, his market rival, Aliko Dangote cemented his position as Africa’s richest man following the increase in his networth by 2.84 percent.

Rabiu’s fortune dropped to $4.5 billion after losing N12.40 billion at the close of trading on the floor of the Nigerian stock market on Monday, dropping to sixth in Africa’s rich list.

The company’s stock was priced low at the capital market, with holders selling at N68.50kobo per share, below the N69 stakeholders offered the equity on Friday.

 

However, BUA Foods crossed the trillion naira mark in the capital market where it is now valued at N1.05 trillion, four days after listing on the bourse.

While Rabiu lost N12.40 billion, Dangote made a whooping N146.34 billion ($354 million) to end the day with $12.8 billion.

The improvement in Dangote’s fortune was driven by the 4 percent rise in the value of his cement business.

 Dangote Cement’s share price rose from N250 per share on Friday to N260 on Monday.

President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda has claimed that the West and various international monetary lenders keep Africa in continuous poverty. Speaking at the World Bank’s International Development Association summit for African Heads of state, held in Nairobi, Kenya, Museveni took a bold swipe at world leaders saying that most of Africa’s problems predicted over 60 years ago were a result of philosophical, ideological, and strategic economic mistakes. He claimed that a fundamental African problem is that aid from the World Bank and other Western bodies was majorly for profiteering. “The crisis which is in Africa today is because of philosophical, ideological, and strategic economic mistakes which we have been talking about since the 1960s. It is not an accident when you see the crisis in many African countries, the collapse of States. We predicted this in the 1960s – philosophical, ideological, and strategic mistakes. I don’t have time to amplify each one but I was very happy to hear the...
