The latest clash between two of Nigeria’s richest men, Aliko Dangote and Abdul Samad Rabiu, over sugar production in Nigeria has been settled by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano and Aminu Dantata, a prominent northern billionaire who is Mr Dangote’s uncle.
PREMIUM TIMES earlier reported that the dispute between the duo is over who controls the sugar market in Africa’s biggest economy.
While Mr Dangote accuses his competitor of attempting to appropriate an undue advantage, Mr Rabiu says Africa’s richest man wants to monopolise the market and manipulate prices. Mr Dangote denied the price-fixing allegation in a statement.
