According to a corporate disclosure on Wednesday by the company’s Secretary, Temitope Hassan, Dangote’s retirement from the sugar company’s board takes effect from June 16, 2025.

Dangote has chaired the board since 2005, overseeing its significant growth and transformation, including major expansion projects and implementing best practices in corporate governance.

“In line with the principles of good corporate governance and succession planning, Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc hereby announces the retirement of our esteemed Chairman of the Board of Directors, Alhaji Aliko Dangote (GCON), effective June 16, 2025,” the statement said.

Under his leadership, the company launched key Backward Integration Projects (BIP) in Adamawa, Taraba, and Nasarawa States to boost local sugar production and reduce Nigeria’s reliance on imports.
