Chairman of Dangote Group of Companies, Alhaji Aliko Dangote and Chairman of BUA Group of Companies, Abdulsamad Isiyaka Rabiu have reconciled their differences on Thursday at a meeting convened by Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje in Abuja.

The reconciliation meeting took place at Kano Governor’s Lodge, Asokoro, Abuja, which put a stop to all rumours making round that the duo were in dispute over sugar control in the country.
Both parties, and agreed to work together and supply enough sugar to satisfy the demand of the country.
They all dismissed allegation that Dangote was planning to see to the increase of sugar price, through pressuring BUA to succumb to the increment. They described that allegation as baseless and lacking any iota of truth.
The meeting was seen as the zenith of other similar efforts to reconcile the two giants by the Governor Ganduje.
