The billionaires have both played an important role in the country’s economic growth.
Rabiu and his son own 99.8 percent of the newly established food business.
Under Otedola, Geregu has grown into one of Nigeria’s largest power-generating enterprises.
However, he remains one of the few billionaires who has seen impressive gains since the year began.
The double-digit rise in earnings was driven by increased revenue from $299.3 million to $454.1 million.
Rabiu, Africa’s fifth-richest man, is presently worth $6.3 billion, according to Forbes.
Dangote’s net worth is still up by $832 million this year.
Rabiu is also on track to earn another $151.66 million in dividends from his newly consolidated food business, BUA Foods.
The proceeds from the landmark transaction will be used to part-finance the Dangote Oil Refinery Project.
Rabiu is one of the continent’s wealthiest businessmen, with a $7-billion net worth.
Danjuma is known for founding the oil exploration company South Atlantic Petroleum.
BUA Group has emerged as one of Africa’s fastest-growing manufacturing conglomerates.
The $100-million increase in his net worth in June follows a $300-million decline in May.
Elumelu is the chairman of Heirs Holding.
Rabiu is now Africa’s fifth-richest man.
Adenuga derives the majority of his wealth from his telecom company and his investments in the Nigerian oil industry.
