The richest man in Africa, Aliko Dangote has announced plans to create 300,000 fresh jobs through his new multibillion naira investment in the sugar sub-sector.

The massive recruitment drive was announced in a statement by the communication department of the company.

According to The Punch, the statement quoted the Group's President, Aliko Dangote, as saying that the company was expanding its operations in the sugar sub-sector and providing new funding.

This follows the use of a different strategy to hire Nigerians to work at its petrochemical plant in Lagos.

At the flag-off ceremony for the 2022–2023 Crushing Season and Outgrower Scheme Awards in Numan, Adamawa State, Dangote is credited with creating this state.

Africa's richest man said the opportunities would include both direct and indirect jobs.

Dangote said: "Through the expansion of DSR Numan's sugar refining capacity from 3000tcd to 6000tcd, 9800tcd, and 15,000tcd, we are making significant investments in Adamawa State. DSR will be able to generate about 300,000 jobs nationwide, both directly and indirectly, with favorable multiplier effects.

Dangote Cement Plc, one of its companies, is one of Africa’s biggest job providers in the manufacturing sector.

His commitment to providing jobs got him the appointment as the chairman of the National Job Creation Committee in 2010, to assist the Federal Government in providing more employment opportunities for Nigerians.
