Rich businessman Aliko Dangote wants to invest in the DRC
The richest man in Africa, according to Forbes magazine, the Nigerian Aliko Dangote indicated, Thursday February 8, his intention to invest in the DRC precisely in the mining and agricultural sectors.
The businessman presented his project to Congolese President Félix Tshisekedi on Thursday in Kinshasa.
The Congolese Press Agency, which cites a presidential source, specifies that the meeting between the Nigerian businessman and President Tshisekedi took place during an audience at the presidential palace in the city of the African Union, in presence of the former head of state of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo.
“It was a question of seeing within the framework of the DRC-Nigeria Business Council, which allows rapprochement, facilitation and economic integration between our countries, how we could benefit from one of our largest investors Aliko Dangote”, declared the former Nigerian President, after their meeting with the Congolese Head of State.
Nigerian Aliko Dangote has been ranked by Forbes magazine as Africa's richest man for the 13th consecutive year.
Mr Dangote's fortune has increased by $400 million over the past year to a net worth of $13.9 billion, according to Forbes, bbc.com reports.
Since November 2022, economic cooperation has existed between the DRC and Nigeria through the joint program called “DRC-Nigeria Business Council”, supported by Félix Tshisekedi and Olusegun Obasanjo, with the vision of bringing the Congolese and Nigerian people closer together and promoting their economic integration.
In April 2023, the DRC hosted, in Kinshasa, the second meeting of the stakeholders of this program sponsored by these two political figures.
It brought together Nigerian and Congolese businessmen as well as public service managers from these two countries to evaluate and make proposals with a view to improving the business partnership between Kinshasa and Abuja.
