DANGOTE AND A FEW OTHER DIRECTORS RESIGNS AS BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF DANGOTE FLOUR MILLS

Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote and three other directors resigned from the board of Dangote Flour Mills on Monday as majority owner Tiger Brands cut funding support to its struggling Nigerian division.

South Africa’s Tiger Brands said it was “currently exploring various alternatives with regard to its investment in Dangote Flour Mills, which also announced a change of name to Tiger Branded Consumer Goods Plc. 

Aliko Dangote holds 10% of the company’s equity in through Dangote Industries. The other directors who resigned are Olakunle Alake, Asue Ighodalo and Arnold Ekpe. Well I'm a bit confused here as to how Dangote resigns as director of his own company.
