At the centre of Dangote’s participation is the unveiling of its Vision 2030 blueprint by Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical Company.
The plan is designed to accelerate innovation and strengthen Africa’s industrialisation drive, aligning with the fair’s theme of deepening value chains and promoting inclusive economic growth in Nasarawa State.
Showcasing Diverse Business Portfolio

According to company spokesman Anthony Chiejina, the exhibition will highlight the Group’s expansive industrial footprint.
Senior Adviser to the Group President, Fatima Wali-Abdurrahman, emphasised that Nasarawa State plays a critical role in Dangote’s African investment strategy.

Chairman of the Nigeria Association of Small-Scale Industrialists in Nasarawa State, Nidan Sambo Manasseh, described the trade fair as more than an exhibition. He said it serves as a practical platform for fostering business opportunities, industrial expansion, and human capital development, while aligning closely with Dangote Group’s long-term vision.
