Dangote Group is pursuing an investment programme worth $45bn as it seeks to expand its businesses and increase annual revenue to $100bn by 2030. According to Punch Nigeria, the group plans to use internally generated cash to finance the expansion. The financing approach means the programme is intended to rely on money generated within the business, rather than details of external borrowing or equity funding provided in the available material.

The report does not specify which Dangote businesses will receive the investment, how the $45bn will be divided or when individual projects will be completed. It also does not provide a current revenue figure against which the 2030 target can be measured. The stated goal is for the expansion programme to help the group reach annual revenue of $100bn by the end of the decade.

No further information was supplied about expected employment, production capacity or the markets involved.
