Dangote Industries a Nigerian multinational industrial conglomerate, founded by Aliko Dangote Ltd. has pledged its commitment to making Nigeria self-sufficient in cement, agriculture, mining, and petroleum production.
Dr Abayomi Shittu, the Regional Sales Director, Southeast, Dangote Cement, disclosed this on Sunday at the ongoing 36th Enugu International Trade Fair in Enugu Nigeria.
“Dangote Industries Ltd. is into cement, sugar, salt, poly products, real estate, agriculture, logistics, telecommunications, steel, oil, and gas among other businesses.
“Three of its subsidiaries Dangote Cement Plc., Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc. and Dangote Salt, trading under the name of NASCON Allied Industries Plc. are listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange.
“Our continuous efforts to innovate, create value, and invest in Nigeria are borne out of our firm belief in the vast economic potential of Nigeria.
“Dangote Sugar Refinery, through its out-grower scheme, has provided jobs for thousands of farmers in its host communities.
“The coming of Dangote Fertiliser has to a great extent helped to change the face of agriculture in Nigeria while the Dangote Petroleum Refinery, will drive the development of ancillary industries.
“We recruit graduates of engineering and other technology-based courses and train them in many aspects of industrial operations,’’ Shittu said.
According to him, the trade fairs organized by the Enugu Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture (ECCIMA) were spectacular because Enugu State had about the largest concentration of industries in the Southeast and South-South geopolitical zones.
He added that ECCIMA’s trade fairs remained avenues for industries to connect with customers in the Southeast and the adjoining zones.
