Who did Dangote and Jim Ovia lose the ‘Forbes African Person Of The Year’ award to?

Nigerian Agriculture Minister Akinwumi
Adesina has been named the 2013 Forbes
African of the Year beating Nigerian
billionaires Aliko Dangote and Jim Ovia.
Adesina was given the award for his
reforms to the country’s farming sector.
‘He is a man on a mission to help Africa
feed itself ’, said Forbes Africa editor Chris
Bishop .
‘My goal is to make as many millionaires,
maybe even billionaires, from agriculture
as possible’, Adesina said in his
acceptance speech.
Aliyu Tanko from BBC Hausa says Adesina
has introduced more transparency into the
supply and distribution of fertiliser, which
had previously been marred by massive
corruption.
