A leadership reshuffle has been announced at the Dangote Group, with founder Aliko Dangote assigning expanded executive responsibilities to his three daughters in what industry observers describe as a deliberate transition and scale-up strategy.
According to details reported by ARISE TV, the new structure distributes oversight of some of the conglomerate’s most strategic divisions among the next generation of leadership. Halima Dangote will coordinate the Group’s Family Office while supervising overseas interests and partnerships linked to its Dubai and London operations.
Fatima Dangote is taking charge of commercial strategy within the oil and gas portfolio, while Mariya Dangote will manage operations across the cement and food segments.
The reorganization comes as the conglomerate pushes into a new growth cycle driven by energy, industrial manufacturing, and consumer goods, with particular attention on ramping up output and market reach from its large-scale petroleum refining and petrochemicals assets.
Company insiders say the role realignment is intended to deepen governance capacity, improve decision speed across divisions, and embed long-term succession planning at the executive level. It also reflects a broader effort to position the group for global competitiveness as it pursues a projected valuation milestone of $100 billion by the end of the decade.
The Dangote Group remains one of Africa’s largest industrial enterprises, with interests spanning cement, fertilizers, food processing, and energy infrastructure.
