Stakeholders and members of the business community at the 47th Kaduna International Trade Fair were provided with deeper insight into the long-term strategic direction of the Dangote Group as its representative, Fatima Wali Abdurrahman, highlighted the company’s ambitious Vision 2030 roadmap.
Speaking during the company’s Special Day that drew strong interest from industry players, entrepreneurs and investors, Mrs. Wali Abdurrahman outlined the company’s plan to strengthen Nigeria’s industrial capacity and promote economic self-reliance through large-scale local production and value addition.

Mrs Wali Abdurrahman noted that the company’s long-term vision places strong emphasis on partnerships with small and medium-scale enterprises, distributors and local suppliers, stressing that sustainable industrial growth requires inclusive participation across the value chain.
