Dangote Named Africa's Top Brand for Eighth Year

Dangote Industries Limited has retained its position as Africa's top brand for the eighth consecutive year, as announced at the 16th annual Brand Africa 100 event held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The recognition is based on a survey covering consumers across 30 African countries, representing 85% of the continent's population and economic output.

The survey measures consumer perception and brand influence across various sectors, with Dangote emerging as the most admired brand, ahead of MTN and Vodacom. The company is noted for its extensive footprint in strategic sectors of the African economy, including cement, fertilizers, petrochemicals, energy, sugar, salt, packaging, and logistics.

Additionally, Dangote was ranked second among brands recognized for their positive societal contributions. The founder and chairman of Brand Africa, Thebe Ikalafeng, emphasized the need for stronger support for African brands to drive economic development.

Aliko Dangote, President and Chief Executive of Dangote Industries, received a lifetime achievement award for his contributions to industrialization and the private sector's development across Africa.
