Dangote Group To Make Nigeria Self-sufficient In Cement, Petroleum, Agriculture by ijustdey(op): 8:57am On Apr 07, 2025

Dangote Industries Ltd. has reaffirmed its commitment to making Nigeria self-sufficient in key sectors such as cement production, agriculture, mining, and petroleum refining.

Dr. Abayomi Shittu, Regional Sales Director (Southeast) of Dangote Cement, made the pledge during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday at the ongoing 36th Enugu International Trade Fair.

“Dangote Industries Ltd. operates across several sectors including cement, sugar, salt, poly products, real estate, agriculture, logistics, telecommunications, steel, oil, and gas,” Shittu said.

He noted that three of its major subsidiaries—Dangote Cement Plc, Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc, and NASCON Allied Industries Plc (producers of Dangote Salt)—are listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange, reflecting the company’s strong investment footprint in the country.

“Our continued innovation, value creation, and investments in Nigeria are driven by our deep belief in the country’s vast economic potential,” he added.

Highlighting the group’s impact, Shittu said the Dangote Sugar Refinery’s out-grower scheme has provided employment to thousands of farmers in its host communities, boosting local economies.

He also emphasized the transformative role of Dangote Fertiliser in Nigeria’s agricultural sector and the anticipated economic ripple effect from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery, which is poised to stimulate the development of supporting industries.

“In addition, we recruit engineering and technology graduates and train them across various areas of industrial operations to build local capacity,” Shittu said.

He praised the Enugu Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (ECCIMA) for organizing impactful trade fairs, describing the Enugu event as a strategic platform given the state’s significant industrial base in the Southeast and South-South regions.

“ECCIMA trade fairs offer a unique opportunity for industries like ours to connect with customers and partners from across these regions,” he noted.

The 36th Enugu International Trade Fair continues to attract major industry players, showcasing investment opportunities and fostering business collaborations. NAN

Let nobody allow you have monopoly anywhere so the prices can be competitive

You guys should keep deceiving yourself with dangote ways of giving hope to Nigerian by buying this sympathy and support with fancy and sweet words.

Cement has since been in Nigeria, what is the price now?

Before the commencement of his mighty petro chemical factory, he said full will go as low as 400-500, the price still 980-1200.

Now he wants to achieve another one, they are here with cheap and sweet words to cajole people again, I'm not in for anyone for now.

Yes local production also helps in boosting nation's currency, and in the interim producers like Dangote must sell at an affordable price to the people, government must work with industrialists who monopolise an industry (due to scale and capacity), through tax concessions or other infrastructural support, so cost of production will be lower for the industrialists, to sell cheaper to Nigerians.

The governing political class should know that the wealth of the nation is to benefit the people, democracy is by the people, for the people and of the people, the people must eat and enjoy national revenue, inflows and wealth through either subsidies, public/private partnerships, welfare packages such as housing, affordable transportation etc, the public wealth and revenue is not for politicians, it is to be enjoyed by all of the citizens as is obtainable overseas.

If the people have no disposal income it will be hard for the economy to grow... restaurants will be empty, bars will be empty, shops will be empty, hotels will be empty, people will only be concerned about eating, this will shrink employment rate, small businesses won't grow or open, taxes and economic buoyancy will also shrink, government must ensure fuel, electricity, cement, transportation and housing are affordable, this is the only way to boost investment, savings and growth.

We hear Nigeria is making more money yet people are hungry are groaning in the land, this is a great evil.

We must increase the value of naira, this is the sure way to get us out of this mess, by encouraging home industries and entering trade agreements with countries, to pay with local currency for goods and services exchanged.

Re: Dangote Group To Make Nigeria Self-sufficient In Cement, Petroleum, Agriculture by owobokiri(m): 9:41am On Apr 07, 2025

At what price huh

So We produce the whole cement we need,.. Oh Yes!
We produce the whole refined oil We need... Oh Yes!!
We produce the whole rice We need....Oh very Yes!!!

Is it cheaper now huh

Oh No!!
So why?

Because an ultra capitalist economic model of prioritising the growth of few business oligarchs against the well being of the majority, will always lead to the creation of few ultra rich in a society full of poor millions..

Dangote can do all that but will go ahead to bank most of his cash at Chase Manhattan or Standard Chattered abroad.
Cash flight is ash flight
And
It is the same CAPITAL FLIGHT

The government should call other Nigerians with means and give them two of these business while Dangote stock to one, instead of suppressing others for one man.
