Apocrypha

Dear all,

Can anyone explain what apocrypha means in the following sentence?

"How Dangote succeeded where others failed involves a President, protectionism and a piece of company apocrypha."

This article talks about the richest man in Africa, but I do not understand what the word refers to.

Thank in advance~~
