Hi everybody, tune in to this short version of the podcast, which we do every Friday. For the long version, tune in on Wednesdays. Hi everybody, I'm Nikola Tangen, the CEO of the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund, and today I have a real pleasure sitting down with Aliko Dangote. Aliko is the founder and the CEO of the Dangote Group, Africa's largest industrial conglomerate. Nearly 50 years ago he started with a small trading firm in Nigeria and today

His empire stretches across the continent. He has built what many said was impossible, a large-scale African industry from scratch. Warm welcome. Thank you very much, Dukla. It's a pleasure to have you.

Good to be here. How did it all start? Well, I started as a trading company in 1978. And what kind of things did you trade? Uh, cement.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
