  • Project Database for Sub-Saharan African
    PROJECT DATABASE FOR SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN COUNTRIES Prepared by Africa Project Access November 2013 1 Guide to Using the Africa Project Database 1. Africa Project Access provides two essential back-up services to the Projects supplied to subscribers via the Africa Project Database. In order to streamline the usage of these services, subscribers are kindly requested to refer to the Date and “Description” of each Project concerned. (There is therefore no need for an elaborate numbering system.) 2. The first service relates to contact persons for individual Projects carried. Most of the Project inserts include “Contacts”. These are contact persons who either know of the Project directly or who should be able to guide the enquirer in the right direction. In a few cases, where no contact person is provided, this is because the Project has originated from our associates and we therefore do not have direct knowledge of the Project. Nevertheless, the subscriber is most welcome to contact Africa Project Access directly (tel 27 11 4656770, fax 27 11 4659580, email: afric- [email protected]) and we will undertake a search for an appropriate contact. It must be understood that communications systems in much of sub-Saharan Africa leave much to be desired and data may change very quickly. Personnel in government institutions, utilities, companies etc also change frequently. Thus if the subscriber is not getting through, he or she should follow the procedure in 1. 3. The second service pertains to additional detail on the Project itself. Any formal publication (especially in the environment in which we operate) will be limited in that background intelligence relating to a Project may be difficult to publish in a multi- user system and may only be transmitted verbally.

  • Death and the Textile Industry in Nigeria
    Death and the Textile Industry in Nigeria This book draws upon thinking about the work of the dead in the context of deindustrialization—specifically, the decline of the textile industry in Kaduna, Nigeria—and its consequences for deceased workers’ families. The author shows how the dead work in various ways for Christians and Muslims who worked in KTL mill in Kaduna, not only for their families who still hope to receive termination remittances, but also as connections to extended family members in other parts of Nigeria and as claims to land and houses in Kaduna. Building upon their actions as a way of thinking about the ways that the dead work for the living, the author focuses on three major themes. The first considers the growth of the city of Kaduna as a colonial construct which, as the capital of the Protectorate of Northern Nigeria, was organized by neighborhoods, by public cemeteries, and by industrial areas. The second theme examines the establishment of textile mills in the industrial area and new ways of thinking about work and labor organization, time regi- mens, and health, particularly occupational ailments documented in mill clinic records. The third theme discusses the consequences of KTL mill workers’ deaths for the lives of their widows and children. This book will be of interest to scholars of African studies, development studies, anthropology of work, and the history of industrialization. Elisha P.

  • Dangote Cement: the Challenges of Pan-African Expansion
    chapter 12 Dangote Cement: The Challenges of Pan-African Expansion Akinyinka Akinyoade and Chibuike Uche Introduction Dangote Cement is the largest company quoted on the Nigerian Stock Ex- change. In 2016, it accounted for 32 per cent of the equities capitalisation in the Exchange.1 The company was founded by Aliko Dangote, who has an en- trepreneurial pedigree. Aliko Dangote was born in 1957. Incidentally, it was in the same year that the Nigerian Cement Company (ncc), the first cement production company in Nigeria, commenced operations (Akinyoade and Uche 2016). His father, Mohammed Dangote, was a business associate of Alhassan Dantata, who was the richest African during the colonial era (Forrest 1994: 215). His mother, Mariya Sanusi Dantata, was the eldest daughter of one of Alhassan Dantata’s sons, Sanusi Dantata, a major groundnut merchant in Kano. After the death of Mohammed Dangote in 1963, Aliko was brought up by his ma- ternal grandfather, Sanusi Dantata. As a child, Aliko showed keen interest in entrepreneurship. As a primary school student, he sold candies (sweets) for profit (Anyansi-Archibong and Anyansi 2014: 276). Through his association with his maternal grandfather, Dangote quickly learnt that in Nigeria, “politics and business are closely related” (Fayemiwo and Neal 2013). Dangote started his career by working as a store manager for his grandfather. In 1976, he established his own business specialising in cement and commod- ity trading. This was done with a loan of N500,000.00 from his grandfather. This business venture proved to be extremely profitable, making it possible for him to pay back the loan within three months (Ogbor, 2009: 276).

  • Becoming an African Champion Ingredients for Business Success
    Becoming an African Champion Ingredients for business success Africa is the global economy’s last frontier. African economies are increasingly attracting the interest of a range of multinational corporations (MNCs) looking for untapped consumer markets for their products and services. After decades of paying little attention to Africa, MNCs have started to change their attitude towards the continent and are trying to get a slice of the ‘Africa Growth Story’ cake. However, in the regular absence of MNCs and their competitive pressure, local African companies have managed to establish and grow across the continent and have developed skills, expertise and scale to compete as intra-African multinational champions. As early entrants, African Champions have a home ground advantage and deep understanding of the ins and outs of African markets, as well as the agility to adapt quickly to the challenges and ever evolving business environment on the continent. While foreign MNCs might have deeper pockets and more global international supply chains and support networks, African Champions are more than capable of teaching companies from the rest of the world a lesson or two about doing business in Africa. As an organisation with deep roots in Africa’s frontier and emerging economies, Deloitte Africa has unpacked some of these success stories in what follows, and has been working closely to assist African as well as international companies to navigate what is a complex operating environment and to develop solutions for ensuring business success across Africa. Deloitte is now assisting the rise of Africa’s new champions. Dr Martyn Davies Alain Penanguer Managing Director: Emerging Markets & Africa Managing Partner Deloitte Africa Deloitte Francophone Africa Becoming an African Champion – Ingredients for business success 1 Is there a universal recipe for success in Africa?
