At the helm of day-to-day management of the reputation of Nigerian industrial conglomerate Dangote Group is group head of corporate communications Anthony Chiejina. He’s been with the company for some 18 years in senior comms roles and has overseen it scoop awards across the entire African continent.

Chiejina previously served as head of corporate communications for Zenith Bank; as personnel manager and editorial advisor for the Seven Up Bottling Company; and as deputy editor of the African Economic Digest, based in the UK.
