The president of Dangote Group of Companies, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has called for a law to promote gender equality in the country.
Speaking at the 2019 Women Corporate Directors Lecture sponsored by Aliko Dangote Foundation, he said: “We can start with a proportion of like 30 women to 70 men on the board.”
Dangote said: “My three daughters all take on challenging roles as senior executive at the group level and I can tell you that they have led the businesses to success.
“We have a strong number of women at Dangote industries across board, a lot of women occupy important leadership positions, and their efficiency has been noticed.”
Speaking on the theme ‘The Courage to Lead, Inspiring Others, Overcoming Challenges and Achieving Success’, a former Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Hailemariam Desalegn, described gender equality as important as women potentially represent half the world’s pool of talents and prospects for advancement.
He said: “For Africa to prosper, we need to engage and give chance to women to be very active in our politics, economics and business environment.”
