By correspondent in Lokoja.


The Dangote Group is reinforcing its industrial and economic impact in Nigeria with two major initiatives: the commissioning of advanced machinery at Dangote Packaging Limited (DPL) in Obajana, Kogi State, and the sponsorship of the 2025 Nasarawa Trade Fair in Lafia, Nasarawa State.

At a landmark event in Obajana on Wednesday, DPL unveiled state-of-the-art equipment designed to boost the production of polypropylene laminated cement sacks.

The machines, described as high-speed and technologically advanced, are set to revolutionize the company’s packaging operations.

Speaking at the commissioning, the Managing Director and CEO of DPL, Mr. Sai Prakash, emphasized that the machinery represents a leap in productivity and quality.

“This is not just an upgrade; it’s a strategic investment in the future of our packaging solutions,” he stated.

The Group Managing Director of Dangote Cement Plc, Mr. Arvind Pathak, lauded the initiative and noted the remarkable evolution in cement bag production. He expressed confidence that the new technology would fill critical gaps in quality and efficiency.

Also present at the event were Chief Manufacturing Officer, Mr. Sunil Mahajan, and Director of Operations, Nigeria, Mr. Anandam Duraisamy, both of Dangote Cement Plc.

They echoed optimism about the potential of the upgraded systems to enhance output and product standards.

The Plant Director at Dangote Cement, Obajana, Engr. Azad Nawabuddin, pledged continued support for DPL’s operations, expressing confidence that the machinery would improve synergy between DPL and Dangote Cement.

In his welcome speech, Mr. Peter Dickson, General Manager of DPL, declared the commissioning a gateway to new possibilities.

“With this innovation, we are securing a brighter future for the business and our customers,” he affirmed.

Meanwhile, in Lafia, Nasarawa State, the Dangote Group has thrown its weight behind the 2025 Nasarawa Trade Fair, a platform designed to energize small-scale industries and attract new investments to the region.

The trade fair, which opens this week, is organized by the Nigeria Association of Small-Scale Industrialists (NASSI) in collaboration with the Nasarawa State Chamber of Commerce, Agriculture and Industries. Governor Abdullahi Sule is expected to formally declare the event open.

NASSI State Chairman, Nidan Sambo Manasseh, described the fair as a vital economic engine.

This year’s theme is “Investing in Nasarawa’s Future: Fostering Economic Development Through Mineral and Agricultural Cottage Industrialization”.

Here is a reedited and more concise version of the sentences, maintaining clarity and flow:

NASSI Chairman, Nidan Sambo Manasseh, described the Nasarawa Trade Fair Exhibition (NASTFE) as a key driver of the state’s economic transformation, aligning closely with Governor Abdullahi Sule’s vision to attract investment and drive growth.

Dangote Group’s Chief Branding and Communication Officer, Anthony Chiejina, affirmed Nasarawa’s strategic importance to the Group’s national investment plans, noting that the state hosts the upcoming Nasarawa Sugar Company Limited, set to become one of Africa’s largest sugar ventures.

The Group’s Senior Special Adviser, Fatima Wali Abdurrahman, emphasized the company’s commitment to the partnership, revealing that key Strategic Business Units,including Dangote Peugeot Automobiles, Dangote SinoTruck, Dangote Sugar Refinery, Dangote Salt (NASCON), and Dangote Cement,would participate in the fair, with a dedicated Help Desk to engage visitors and collect feedback.
