Aliko Dangote revealed that his first grandson has no interest in working for him right now.

The President of the Dangote Group said his grandson would prefer to gain experience at global professional services firms before joining the family business.

Dangote disclosed this on Tuesday, September 29, at a high-level investor engagement organised for the Dangote Petroleum Refinery initial public offering with Kenyan and East African institutional investors in Nairobi.

Speaking about the group’s approach to long-term planning and the involvement of his family in the business, Dangote said his first grandson, an electrical engineer, was currently more interested in learning about finance outside the family firm.

“And my first grandson, he’s not finding it interesting to work with me for now. He wants to go and get experience with KPMG or PWC. Then after he’ll come and join us. He’s an electrical engineer, but he wants to go and learn about money first,” he said.

Dangote previously said that having a male heir is not a priority for him.
