Morality. AI-Generated.
As it happens I am in Death Valley, in a room at the Enterprise Motel and Trailer Park, and it is July, and it is hot. In fact it is 119°. I cannot seem to make the air conditioner work, but there is a small refrigerator, and I can wrap ice cubes in a towel and hold them against the small of my back. With the help of the ice cubes I have been trying to think, because The American Scholar asked me to, in some abstract way about “morality,” a word I distrust more every day, but my mind veers inflexibly toward the particular.

The Rise of Aliko Dangote Part 11
Cement: The Game-Changer** The pivotal moment in Aliko Dangote’s illustrious business career came with his strategic entry into the cement industry—a move that would not only revolutionize his business empire but also significantly impact the economic landscape of Nigeria and the entire African continent. The late 1990s presented a unique challenge and opportunity: Nigeria, despite its rapidly growing construction industry, was grappling with a severe shortage of cement. This shortage was stifling the country’s infrastructure development, driving up costs, and creating a reliance on expensive imports. Sensing a significant opportunity to both address a critical national issue and further cement his status as a business leader, Dangote decided to shift his focus from importing cement to producing it locally.

The Rise of Aliko Dangote Part 18
For decades, Nigeria has faced the paradox of being one of the world’s largest crude oil producers while simultaneously importing the majority of its refined petroleum products due to the limited capacity of its aging and inefficient refineries. This reliance on imports has been a drain on Nigeria’s foreign exchange reserves and has made the country vulnerable to fluctuations in global oil prices. The completion of the Dangote Refinery is expected to change this dynamic by providing a steady and reliable supply of refined petroleum products to meet domestic demand.

In addition to rice, Dangote has made substantial investments in other agricultural ventures, including **dairy farming**. The group’s dairy project is focused on developing a modern, sustainable dairy industry in Nigeria, with the goal of reducing the country’s reliance on imported dairy products. By establishing large-scale dairy farms and milk processing facilities, Dangote aims to provide Nigerians with high-quality, locally-produced milk and dairy products. This venture is particularly important in addressing the nutritional needs of Nigeria’s growing population and supporting the livelihoods of local farmers.

In addition to its economic impact, Dangote Cement’s success also had significant geopolitical implications. By reducing Africa’s dependence on imported cement, Dangote helped to bolster the continent’s self-sufficiency in a critical industry. This shift not only strengthened local economies but also reduced the outflow of foreign exchange, which had previously been spent on importing cement. Moreover, by becoming a major player in multiple African markets, Dangote Cement also enhanced Nigeria’s influence and soft power across the continent, positioning the country as a leader in African industrialization.

But Dangote’s ambitions did not stop at meeting local demand. He envisioned creating a pan-African cement empire that would not only serve the needs of Nigeria but also address the growing infrastructure needs across the continent. With this vision in mind, Dangote Cement was spun off as a separate entity, and a massive expansion plan was set into motion. This plan involved establishing cement manufacturing plants in multiple African countries, each strategically located to serve both local markets and neighboring regions.

The real game-changer, however, came in 2003 when Dangote embarked on a bold and ambitious project that would redefine the African cement industry. He initiated the construction of a state-of-the-art cement manufacturing plant in Obajana, Kogi State, Nigeria. The Obajana Cement Plant was an enormous undertaking, requiring extensive capital investment, advanced technology, and sophisticated logistical planning. The scale of this project was unprecedented in Nigeria at the time. However, Dangote was determined to build a facility that would not only meet local demand but also position Nigeria as a key player in the global cement industry.
