Highly celebrated Nigerian businessman, Alhaji Aliko Dangoteis about to lose his position to another wealthy Nigerian business tycoon.
The man in question is Abdulsamad Rabiu, a 53-year-old Nigerian businessman who followed his dad’s footsteps by venturing into importing business.
Rabiu started importing commodities like rice, Sugar and cement, etc in the early 80s and today he is the founder of BUA Group, a company that makes $1.9 billion yearly in revenues.

Rabiu’s company also operates the BUA Cement I, a 200-meter long vessel designed for heavy loads. It is Nigeria’s first floating terminal. He is already touted to unseat Aliko Dangote, the current Africa’s richest man.
According to a recent report by Forbes Africa, Rabiu has assets and business interests that is about to make him Africa’s richest man.
