Environment

  • Terrible road conditions, and access road traffic grid lock in Apapa worsened by the rains

  • Relative stability in gas supplies
  • Relative calm in the Niger Delta region and stability in the foreign exchange market

Acting GMD, Abdullahi Sule, Comments

“The outlook for the remaining quarters of the year remains promising despite the various economic challenges in the country. Our focus remains increasing our local market share to reinforce Dangote Sugar’s position as Nigeria’s leading producer, and achieving our backward integration sugar production plans, as Nigeria continues in its quest to achieve self-sufficiency.

Our greater growth strategy “Sugar for Nigeria” continues to gain momentum; the rehabilitation and expansion of Savannah Sugar is well underway, while the MOU for the 60,000 ha Tunga Sugar Project have been signed. We have continued towards overcoming every challenge we are being faced with in the realisation of our backward integration plans.”
