BUA boss emerges 3rd Richest Man in Africa

-

This is good news for Nigeria. Versatile businessma­n of repute, Abdulsamad Rabiu will forever remain in the annals of history for good reasons. The BUA boss is ever inching towards greater heights and has remained very consequent­ial in the scheme of things. Abdulsamad Rabiu, one of Nigeria’s most successful businessme­n, is the founder of BUA Group, a Nigerian conglomera­te that has interests in sugar refining, real estate, edible oils, logistics and port operations. Rabiu, one of Nigeria’s largest private property owners, also owns homes in South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. Despite the shield and myth that money has created around him, Samad is reportedly a downto- earth family man. The billionair­e businessma­n is right now in a gay mood, as he just officially gained a $650 Million bonus, after his cement firm merger. According to Forbes, Nigerian cement and sugar tycoon, Abdulsamad Rabiu, has become at least $650 million richer after merging Kalambaina Cement, a subsidiary company of his BUA Cement, with publiclytr­aded Cement Company of Nigeria (CCNN), where he was the controllin­g shareholde­r. Abdulsamad is the third richest Nigerian on the list. The American magazine said Adenuga’s net worth dramatical­ly increased from $5.3bn to $9.2bn because he provided more detailed informatio­n about his assets. With Aliko Dangote leading the trail followed by Mike Adenuga, Abdulsamad Rabiu is the rave of the moment.
