Africa has long exported its raw materials, missing out on the economic benefits of processing and manufacturing. Aliko Dangote, one of the continent's most prominent businessmen, believes it's time for a change. His latest project in East Africa aims to demonstrate that Africa can create more value from its own resources. The video examines the potential for Africa to shift from raw exports to value-added production, a move that could transform economies and create jobs. Dangote's initiative serves as a test case for whether the continent can retain more of its wealth. DW News explores the challenges and opportunities of this ambitious endeavor, and what it could mean for Africa's economic future.
