Along the Kaduna-Zaria Expressway, vehicles zoom past the expansive space of TMDK Group in Rigachikun area of Kaduna, unperturbed by the roaring sounds of processing plants and the chitchats among workers at a commodious agro park.
But lying quietly beside the road is the TMDK Agro Industrial Park, estimated to gulp $75 million, with potential to unlock northern Nigeria’s agricultural wealth, and, indeed, address Nigeria’s food security concern.
The nation’s quest for energy reliability and food sufficiency increasingly depends on private sector investments that create lasting economic value. TMDK Group, whose expanding investments in petroleum infrastructure and agro-industrial processing are designed to address two of the country’s most pressing development challenges, remains one of the companies positioning themselves at the intersection of these national priorities.

“The dream is to establish agro parks across all the geo-political zones in Nigeria,” says Suhailu Ismaila, the Acting Managing Director of the TMDK Agro Park. But in the meantime, Mr Ismaila says, the company is already adding values to the operations of farmers not just in Kaduna but across the country.
