The investments, expected to begin in early 2016, will be made primarily in the areas of power generation, coal mining and cement production.
Last year, Dangote Group and Blackstone announced a joint investment of some $5 million in energy infrastructure projects across sub-Saharan Africa, to run until 2020, with an emphasis on power, and transmission and pipeline projects.
Dangote Group - the largest indigenous industrial conglomerate in sub-Saharan Africa - operates across the continent, in various industries including manufacturing, logistics and power generation. Aliko Dangote made most of his wealth through Dangote Cement, the Group's largest subsidiary.
