Dangote Urea Fertilizer Plant to Boost Agricultural Development – Association
The Dangote urea fertilizer factory, according to Mr. Olusola Obadimu, Director-General of the Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines, and Agriculture (NACCIMA), will boost the nation’s agricultural development.
NACCIMA boss said this on Saturday in Lagos via a report from a courtesy visit to the Dangote Fertilizer plant at Ibeju Lekki area.
He said that the initiative will guarantee food security and generate a significant amount of direct and indirect employment possibilities for Nigerians and other Africans.
“The main objective of the visit is to recognize the impact of the project and, indirectly, the Dangote Group on the country’s economy, as well as to reassure them of NACCIMA’s support in the event of a need. Initiating this largest granulated urea fertiliser plant project in Africa will go a long way in boosting agricultural development no doubt. This will impact Nigeria’s trade capacity when it comes to agriculture and shore up the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from that angle. “Dangote Group must be lauded for its very significant contribution to the growth of the Nigerian economy,” he said.
However, the NACCIMA team, received commendation from Mr. Vishwajit Sinha, the managing director of Dangote Fertilizer Limited, for the chamber’s ongoing commitment to advancing the nation’s industrialization program.
He reiterated the company’s commitment to enhancing a dynamic agricultural sector for the country in line with Environmental Sustainability and Governance (ESG) models.
