Recent Forbes List
Dauda Lawal was a former Executive Director at the First Bank of Nigeria Plc. He also worked sometimes with the former Minister of Petroleum, Allison Madueke.
Unfortunately, the richest person in Africa, Aliko Dangote is currently valued to worth 13.5 billion dollars by Forbes. The next to Aliko Dangote on the Forbes list is Johann Rupert and Family who are jointly worth 10.7 billion dollars.
When converted to US Dollars, Dauda Lawal's 9 trillion naira is equivalent to about 12 billion dollars, which is supposedly second to Aliko Dangote and richer than Abdulsamad Rabiu who is currently worth 7.6 billion dollars and Mike Adenuga who is currently valued to worth 6.3 billion dollars.
