Jamil Mohammed Abubakar, Aliko Dangote's son-in-law, has been appointed Managing Director of Infrastructure & Logistics at Dangote Group, starting April 2026. His appointment is part of a broader family-led succession strategy, following recent senior roles given to Dangote's daughters. With over 14 years in aviation and governance experience, Abubakar is expected to drive operational improvements and expansion into new infrastructure assets. Dangote's succession approach mirrors a broader African trend of consolidating control by entrusting key roles to family, as the group targets $100 billion in enterprise value by 2030.
