Dangote appoints his daughter Head of tiger brands

 
Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote has appointed her daughter, Halima Dangote, an Executive Director of Tiger Brand Consumer Goods (TGBC) Plc, which was formerly known as Dangote Flour Mills.

This was made known in a letter written to the Nigerian Stock Exchange by the company this week.

According to the letter, her appointment is effective from February 15th, 2016.

Tiger Brand sold its stakes in its unprofitable Nigerian business to Dangote last year after buying it from him in 2012. Here’s what you didn’t know about Halima Dangote:
