Dangote Group To Revitalize Food With $1bn In The Country
The Dangote Group has imparted his plans on rice cultivation in five states to revitalise food self-sufficiency in the country by investing $1bn.
Speaking at the just concluded 2017 Gateway Trade Fair, which held on Monday in Abeokuta, Ogun State, a director of the Dangote Group, Mr. Tunde Mabogunje, stated, “We have been contributing our quota to the growth and development of the Nigerian economy. Towards aiding agriculture, we are building a fertilizer plant in the Lekki Free Trade Zone, Lagos State.
“When completed, farmers will have regular access to fertilizer for their farming activities. The delays and disruptions experienced in waiting for imported fertilizer will cease.
“We are investing about $1bn in rice cultivation. We have an out-growers scheme where thousands of farmers are empowered with improved seeds and items needed to cultivate rice.”
