He explained that the group has been a reliable partner to many trade fairs across the country because the management believes that chambers of commerce & industry occupy a unique position in driving economic development through their activities.
He stated that Dangote Industries Ltd considered OGUNCCIMA as being unique because Ogun State has one of the largest concentrations of industries in Nigeria and serves as a corridor for transportation of goods, services and people between the nation’s commercial centre of Lagos and the rest of Nigeria and even our neighbouring countries of Benin Republic, Togo and Ghana.
In her goodwill message, the Ogun State Commissioner for Industry, Trade and Investments, Mrs Kikelomo Longe, expressed the state government’s appreciation to Dangote Group for rising to the occasion each time the state called upon it, saying the company’s investments had lifted the economic activities in the state.
