Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has said he is working towards buying Arsenal Football Club, despite the fact that his bid to acquire a stake in the club was rebuffed by the owners in 2010.
Dangote is worth $15.7bn, and has interests in cement, sugar and flour. He is currently investing $11bn in a 650,000 barrel-a-day oil refinery near Lagos, and $2.5bn in gas pipelines running from Niger-Delta to Lagos.
He however noted that his new bid for the control of Arsenal would likely come in a few years after he was done with current investments and had taken his business to a certain level.
