From consistently remaining top of the global wealthy chain as the richest black man to emerging one of the most influential in the world, Nigerian industrialist, Alhaji Aliko Dangote surprises only a few people as he is named African Person of the year.

The announcement which was made in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi recognises Dangote's efforts in the continent in terms of investments as well as humanitarian gestures.
Below is an excerpt of what the judges had to say about the Kano born billionaire...

"Aliko Dangote is a lion of Africa in terms of business. He is second to none when it comes to investing in Africa, not just Nigeria. He is also a capitalist with a big heart. He puts his money where his mouth is and his foundation is a step forward for a man who wants to make a difference on the continent."

‎The award was last won in 2013 by Nigeria's minister of Agriculture, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina.
