I agree with you.
All those shouting why didn't he appoint a Nigerian are ignorant of the fact that the company is a publicly traded company with an aggressive global expansion strategy that has shareholders.

Reading some ignorant comments, I cringed. Dangote appointment of Mrs Blair is a strategic move to facilitate Dangote Cement's listing on the London Stock Exchange.

Well, if you read through her profile she has an enviable resume. We congratulate her and Dangote Group for the development.
Let me tell you a short story, two men got employed by a top organisation and were placed on the same pay grade. Few years later, one earned 10 times the salary of the other, the employee whose salary had remained the same since he got the job became envious of his colleague. One day, he summoned courage to ask his friend what he was doing differently to earn promotion and salary increase every year. The answer was simple, "I make efforts to add value to myself and the company by attending relevant workshops and write certification exams, the company leadership recognise and appreciate the value I bring to the organisation". He continued, "Do the same, and you'll get promoted and earn as much as I do".

Dear reader, how much value have you added this year? How many relevant books have you read? Do you attend seminars and Workshops? Is there a Certification exams relevant to your course or profession?

This line of thought is very limiting. Do you know that many Nigerians are also siting on the boards of foreign organisations, do you have any problem with this? Dangote Group is a Global organisation and not limited to employ a particular Nationality as staff. You should be proud that a company from Nigeria has grown to achieve such global repute and association. Dont you think you can build a Global company too, if you are ready to pay the prize - Work?

Not compulsory to comment on everything even when you have no clue what is going on.

What is an "Independent Non Executive Diector"



Fact is Dangote is seeking to list his business on the London Stock Exchange and likely she will use her connections to facilitate that and access to the UK Capital market.

There are three sets of directors in a Board - (1) Executive (for day to day running), (2) non-executive (they are on the board to represent their direct or indirect shareholding interest in the company. They attend regular board meetings) and (3) Independent (they are non-executive also but they must not have shareholding interest in the company either directly or indirectly)

Code of Corporate Governance including the one applicable in Nigeria requires a company to have the mixture of the three on the Board. Certain board committees’ chairmanship are reserved for only independent directors.

I know appointment of most non executive director in Nigeria is usually by major shareholders of the company . They appoint a trusted person that can help them keep an eye on the company and be involved in the major decisions in the company. By this appointment, I guess Tony blaire has a huge stake in dangote cement.

Nope. If Tony or his wife have even a single share in Dangote, then the wife cannot be an independent non-executive director. She would have been appointed as just a non-executive director to represent her husband interest.
