The Dangote Group has said the conglomerate鈥檚 pavilion at the ongoing 2024 Kano International Trade Fair, in Kano State, Northern Nigeria, has become Mecca of a sort, attracting a torrent of consumers, who are excited to make inquiries and purchases as the year winds down.

The Kano Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines, and Agriculture (KACCIMA) has organised the Trade Fair with the theme, “Non-Oil Export for Economic Prosperity”, which the company says 鈥渁ligns closely with Dangote Group’s vision of economic diversification.鈥�

The Branding and Corporate Communications Department of Dangote Group, in a statement, related how the Trade Fair, running from November 23 to December 7, 2024, has seen the Dangote pavilion actively engage visitors with designated help desks addressing inquiries.

Dangote stated: 鈥淣igeria is a powerhouse for non-oil export, but only if it taps into its numerous resources and potential.

鈥淎t Dangote we have demonstrated this with our huge investments in fertiliser, sugar, salt and cement products spread across several African countries.鈥�

Over the weekend, a visit to the stand revealed significant engagement, particularly from distributors and retailers.

Many are taking advantage of the Trade Fair to stock their warehouses in preparation for the upcoming end-of-year festive season, ensuring they are well-equipped to meet the heightened demand, the company stated.

Dangote Group, therefore, urged participants to leverage the opportunity to visit the company鈥檚 pavilion and take advantage of the various products on display, including Dangote Cement, Dangote Sugar and Dangote Salt and Dangote Fertiliser.

The statement further noted Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, Honourable Minister for Defence, extolled the role of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) in the development of the Nigerian economy.

While visiting the Dangote pavilion at the fair, the Minister told participants that the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration recognizes the role of the private sector was key.

Minister Badaru further reaffirmed Federal Government鈥檚 commitment to restoring peace and stability and urged Nigerians to continue supporting the government with prayers while maintaining confidence in the security forces, whose unwavering dedication is crucial to sustaining these achievements.

Meanwhile, Alhaji Garba Imam, President of the Chamber, has commended the Dangote Group for its support and partnership, adding that the company has been consistent in its sponsorship of the annual event.

Speaking to reporters at the arena in Kano, Alhaji Sabiu Umar Yola, Director-General of KACCIMA, was quoted to have said: 鈥淭he relationship between KACCIMA and Dangote has been very supportive and a great partnership.鈥�

Alhaji Yola said the theme for this year was meant to encourage Nigerians to source for other commodities for export instead of crude oil.
