With the influx of privately owned telecoms businesses into Africa comes more profitability in this sector. Most African countries were already used to Government owned telecommunications which also brought attendant inefficiencies and frustrations.

To bridge this gap, a lot of big and medium businesses have sprung up to take advantage of this to make huge profits for their firm. Call them Road construction companies or contractors, these companies will still continue to make huge profit in Africa as long as the yearning for investments and modernization is still on.

OIL AND GAS
Oil and Gas is a very big deal in Africa, ask Nigeria, Angola, Gabon and other OPEC countries. This sector has contributed more than 60% of most of the GDP in these countries. However, most of the major players in this industry are multinationals like Shell, Exxon Mobil and Total. Having a well-run oil and gas company guarantees a fortune, at least, for the period when oil will be in high demand world over.
