The Director-General of the Niger Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture, Adamu Salihu, has described the Dangote Group as a transformative force in Africa’s economic renaissance, saying the conglomerate is “not only industrialising Nigeria, but indeed the whole of Africa.”
Speaking ahead of the Dangote Special Day at the 22nd Niger National Trade Fair in Minna, Salihu said the Chamber would use the event to showcase the achievements of the Group to Niger State, Nigeria, and the wider African business community, according to a statement from Dangote Group on Sunday.
According to him, the investment footprint of the Dangote Group in cement, sugar, salt, fertiliser, agriculture, and energy has become a model of indigenous industrialisation and proof that African entrepreneurs can build globally competitive enterprises.
He said the theme of this year’s fair, Public-Private Partnership as a Panacea for Nigeria’s Growth and Stability, underscores the importance of collaboration between government and the private sector in driving sustainable development.
Salihu noted that Dangote Group’s investment profile aligns with Niger State’s development priorities, particularly in agriculture, where its rice and sugar operations complement the state’s arable land and food production ambitions.
