At the start of the second quarter, Dangote’s direct shares were worth N13.26 billion, but they closed the same period at a value of N12.16 billion, according to PBM analysis.

Also, the value of the indirect shares dropped from N7.01 trillion on April 2 to N6.43 trillion on June 30.

The combination of his direct and indirect investment, which he holds through Dangote Industries Ltd, showed that the businessman held a total of N7.03 trillion investments as of April 2.

However, the investment fell by N585.96 billion to N6.44 trillion at the end of the second quarter, as stock market investors found his company’s rivals, Lafarge Africa and BUA Cement, as more investible assets.

The loss recorded by Africa’s richest man was driven by a N40 drop in Dangote Cement’s share price, which fell from N480 per share on April 2 to N440 per share on June 30.

The 8.33 percent decline in the share price also affected his company’s market valuation, as Dangote Cement’s market capitalisation decreased by N674.94 billion to N7.42 trillion to N8.09 trillion during the period under review.
