Singhvi, who joined the company’s board on May 22, 2020, was acknowledged for his major contributions, including steering key investment projects, driving steady revenue growth, strengthening the management team, leading digital transformation efforts, and boosting the company’s brand.
The board thanked him for his leadership and service, noting that his efforts significantly advanced the company’s growth during his tenure.
The company also announced the appointment of Thabo Mabe as the incoming group managing director and CEO, effective December 1.
According to the notice, the appointment is “subject to the ratification of the Company’s shareholders at its next general meeting”.

According to the company, he began his career at Unilever as a graduate trainee, and held several roles across manufacturing, production, sales and supply chain before rising to vice president, supply chain for Unilever HPC in 2004.

Also, the sugar producer said Mabe joined the Dangote Group in 2014 as MD and CEO of Dangote Flour Mills Plc, “where he successfully transformed the company from a declining business into a highly profitable enterprise”.
After the Group divested from the flour business in 2019, Dangote Sugar said he was appointed managing director of Dangote Rice Limited.
He later assumed the role of managing director of NASCON Allied Industries Plc in 2022, according to the company, before this new appointment.
The company said he brings with him a “wealth of international experience spanning South Africa, Germany, and Nigeria, and continues to make significant contributions to the Dangote Group’s food businesses”.
