ECONOMIC CRISIS: Dangote becomes poorer, See latest Billionaires rankings
Nigeria’s
current economy crisis has taken a toll on Africa’s richest man, Aliko
Dangote, resulting in the Nigerian billionaire losing $5.4 billion in
fortune since this year. According to data obtained, from Bloomberg
Billionaires index on Wednesday, August 31, Dangote’s $5.4 billion loss
translates to about N1.35 trillion, using an average exchange rate of
N250 to a dollar.
The
Bloomberg Billionaires index blamed the loss suffered by Dangote on the
slump in commodities prices and the devaluation of the naira in June by
the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). According to the report, the cement
mogul who is 118 on the billionaires ranking, stands at a net worth of
$9.9 billion, a 62 per cent drop since January 2014.
