For decades, Africa has exported its crude, cocoa, copper and lithium as raw materials and bought back the finished products at someone else’s price. In this Issue, Pan-African Voice tells the story of the leaders and companies working to keep more of that value at home.
On the cover, Aliko Dangote takes his Lekki refinery to the public. Our cover story covers how the offer was put together, what the numbers say and what it means for Africa if millions of ordinary Africans become shareholders.
This issue also features Pan-African Voice’s Top 25 Energy Companies 2026, our special report on the businesses keeping Africa’s lights on, its fuel moving and its factories running, from Sonatrach and NNPC to Eskom, KenGen and Sun King.
