…OGUNCCIMA applauds Dangote’s Vision 2030 project
The Pan-Africa Conglomerate, Dangote Industries Limited (DIL) has outlined an ambitious export-driven growth strategy aimed at positioning Ogun State and Nigeria as a whole, as competitive leaders in agricultural and industrial exports.
This is just as the Ogun State Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (OGUNCCIMA) commended the Group’s long-term industrial investments and Vision 2030 agenda.
The Company’s investment plan was made known by the Group Executive Director, Commercial Operations, Hajiya Fatima Aliko-Dangote during the Dangote Special Day at the ongoing 15th Gateway International Trade Fair in Abeokuta, where business leaders and policymakers converged to advance discussions on export competitiveness, industrial expansion, and public–private collaboration.
The Director who was represented at the occasion by Mr. Tunde Mabogunje, Dangote Cement Plc’s Regional Sales Director, Lagos/Ogun, stated that its long-term investments across cement, energy, petrochemicals, fertiliser and foods production are deliberately structured to reposition Nigeria from an import-dependent economy to a net exporter of strategic products.
She explained that the Group’s Vision 2030 is designed to expand industrial capacity, stimulate cross-border investments, deepen regional value chains, and strengthen Nigeria’s competitiveness within Africa and beyond.
Hajiya Fatima Aliko-Dangote said “Our participation at the Gateway Trade Fair this year dovetails with Dangote Vision 2030, our enterprise wide plan to accelerate industrial expansion, spur cross border investments, and reduce import dependence in strategic sectors. This is why as a lead sponsor, Dangote Industries Limited (DIL) is proud to stand with OGUNCCIMA to deepen commerce, strengthen value chains, and open markets for manufacturers, MSEs and consumers across the region.”
According to her, Ogun State remains central to the Group’s industrial foophiltprint noting that Dangote Cement’s 12 million metric tonnes per annum plant in Ibese continues to anchor domestic supply and exports, while construction is ongoing on a six million metric tonnes per annum integrated cement plant in Itori which is expected to further strenghten local supply chain linkages and boost West African export capacity.
