The automobile division of the company, according to Mr. Dolapo Alli, Regional Sales Director, Dangote Cement Plc, Lagos/Ogun, can build 10,000 trucks yearly.
He claims that buses, semi-trailers, heavy-duty trucks, medium trucks, light trucks, and other types of commercial vehicles are all assembled by Dangote Sinotruck West Africa Limited.
He said this the 13th Gateway International Trade Fair, which is now taking place in Abeokuta. He mentioned that the vehicle division was attending the trade show for the first time.
Alli said, “The company aims to meet the expected increased demand of segments like logistics, constructions, food and beverage industries as the government focuses on boosting the economic development across the country.
“It has capacity to produce 10,000 trucks annually and is creating thousands of jobs both direct and indirect.”
He claims that the Dangote Group is dedicated to assisting Nigeria in becoming self-sufficient in all the economic sectors in which it is active.
He stated that because the organization thinks Chambers of Commerce & Industry play a special role in promoting economic growth through their activities, they have been a dependable partner to numerous trade shows all throughout the nation.
He claimed that Ogun State Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture were special to Dangote Industries Ltd because the state has one of the highest concentrations of industries in Nigeria and acts as a corridor for the passage of people, commodities, and services.
Alli said, “Gateway International Trade Fair therefore remains an avenue for us to connect with our customers in South-West and other parts of the country.
“It is a homecoming as the region is known for innovation and industry. We at Dangote Group and the people of South-West share the trait of ever pushing beyond the limits and discovering new levels of success.
“Despite our progressive position, we are innovative and always thinking of strategies that will drive business and create value for our customers. This we achieve by increasing the number and quality of products in our portfolio, as an increased range of products provides more options, alternatives, and business for our customers.”
He claims that the business will continue to develop, produce value, and make investments in the nation.
