The founder of NASCO Group of Companies, Ahmed Nasreddin has died at the age of 96. The company headquartered in Jos was established by the deceased in 1963 and has produced household items feeding the Nigerian market and beyond.

The late Nasreddin was a visionary leader who established NASCO in Jos in 1963 as the first jute bag factory in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa, in response to the desire of the Nation’s founding fathers to meet the challenges for the effective bagging, storage and export of the large agricultural products from the country.

This vision saw the company growing from its little beginnings to become a major conglomerate with successful companies in manufacturing, real estate, hospitality and logistics, trading among others.

Reacting to the demise, Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong said the passing of the patriarch of the NASCO family is a great loss not only to the family but people of Plateau and Nigeria at large.

Lalong in a statement by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Makut Macham said the late Nasreddin was a visionary leader who groomed his company from a little beginning to become a major conglomerate.

According to the statement, “Governor Simon Lalong has expressed the deep condolences of the people and Government of Plateau State to the NASCO family over the passing of the founder of the Nasco Group of Companies, Dr Ahmed Nasreddin who died at the age of 96.

Governor Lalong in a message of commiseration described the passing of the patriarch of the NASCO family as a great loss not only to the family but to people of Plateau State and Nigeria as a whole.”

“NASCO has over the years remained a major employer of labour in Plateau State and continues to contribute to the economic prosperity of the State and Nigeria at large through tax revenue and corporate social responsibility. Because of the faith that the late Nasreddin had in Plateau State, NASCO remained rooted in the State throughout the difficult moments when the State witnessed crises that affected its development.”

Mehn. This guy impacted my life so much.

Only corn flakes that me and my sisters can stand is Nasco.

We buy two cereals in my house cause I love Nasco, hubby can't stand it.

I remember when we bought Kellogg's corn flakes for my youngest sister to take to school thinking we were forming posh.

This girl got to school and traded her one Kellogg's for two Nasco Corn flakes.

From their soap to their cereal and biscuits.

The man definitely made an impact in many lives.

May his soul rest in peace.

In primary school, i was even nicknamed "Nasco Biscuit" by my teacher and my classmates that time, I didn't joke with my Nasco Biscuit back in the days.... one of my primary school classmates saw me one time and was shouting "Nasco Biscuit, Nasco Biscuit" from his car repeatedly till I turned and saw him with a mischievous smile on his Face .... Fond memories

stonemasonn:
I think he's Lebanese.

Eritrean actually.

Romanoff:

Correct.

Nasco wafers... my uncles almost killed me with that thing.

Back in the 90s, their ads were all over TV. They took you right through the process as to how their products were made from scratch. I used to enjoy watching those ads back in the day. Corn-based. Maize, 100% grown in Nigeria- Plateau state to be precise.


Nasco is Nigeria's own version of Nabisco, I tell you.

Rip Baba Nasco...

Takes me back to the good old days.

Nasco has impact so many lives beyond Nigeria
