LAGOS Oct 4 (Reuters) – Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote
on Thursday sold 63 percent of Dangote Flour to
South African consumer goods firm Tiger Brands in a
deal worth $188 million, brokers said.
The sale of 3.1 billion shares on the Nigerian Stock
Exchange was done at 9.50 naira ($0.06) per share, after
regulators’ approval last month.
