The Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemical company invites applicants for suitable positions into the first private refinery workforce in Nigeria.

Dangote himself is unassuming. A 60-year-old man with an almost shy smile, he’s a practicing Muslim that acquaintances call “generous” and “prayerful.” He’s also a sharp elbowed business titan, the 24th richest in the world, who has survived 11 different regimes in Nigeria, building a $2 billion empire on cement, sugar, salt, and now in energy. 

Foremost Entrepreneur and President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, was at the weekend named along other world leaders such as Russian President Vladimir Putin, American President-elect, Donald Trump and German Chancellor, Angela Merkel as the most powerful persons in the world.
