Harare- In a meeting keenly watched by the business and investment communities, Nigerian business magnate Aliko Dangote is scheduled to meet with President Emmerson Mnangagwa at the State House this morning.

The high-level courtesy call is set for 8:30 AM today, Tuesday, November 12, 2025, according to an official communication.

While the specific agenda for the meeting has not been publicly disclosed, the engagement between Africa’s richest man and the Zimbabwean head of state is expected to focus on key economic and investment opportunities. The discussion is likely to centre on potential investments in Zimbabwe’s critical sectors, which align with the interests of the Dangote Group.

The Dangote Group, a massive multinational industrial conglomerate, has vast interests in cement, sugar, flour, salt, and most notably, oil and gas. The company has been aggressively expanding across the African continent.

Analysts suggest President Mnangagwa will likely use the opportunity to showcase Zimbabwe’s economic reforms and appeal for large-scale foreign direct investment to bolster the country’s economy. The presence of a business leader of Mr. Dangote’s stature is seen as a significant vote of confidence in the country’s investment climate.

This meeting follows the Dangote Group’s existing footprint in Zimbabwe through its cement subsidiary, Dangote Cement Zimbabwe. The encounter at the State House is anticipated to explore avenues for further expansion and diversification of the conglomerate’s portfolio in the country.

The outcome of this meeting could signal a new chapter for major infrastructural and industrial projects in Zimbabwe, driven by one of the continent’s most powerful private sector entities.
