Africa’s richest man’s foundation partners with 15 Nigerian states to give nearly 778,000 women refinery shares

The foundation of Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, is partnering with 15 Nigerian state governments to provide refinery shares to nearly 778,000 vulnerable women at no cost to the beneficiaries. The initiative would give recipients a small ownership stake in the industrialist’s petroleum business as it seeks broader public participation through its share offering.
