Africa’s richest man and President of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, has disclosed that his first grandson would prefer to gain experience at global professional services firms KPMG or PwC before joining the family business.
Dangote made this known on Tuesday at a high-level investor engagement organised for the Dangote Petroleum Refinery initial public offering with Kenyan and East African institutional investors in Nairobi.
Speaking about the group’s approach to long-term planning and the involvement of his family in the business, Dangote said his first grandson, an electrical engineer, was currently more interested in learning about finance outside the family firm.
“And my first grandson, he’s not finding it interesting to work with me for now. He wants to go and get experience with KPMG or PWC. Then after he’ll come and join us. He’s an electrical engineer, but he wants to go and learn about money first,” he said.
