Lagos (INVESTADVOCATE)-Graham Clark, group managing director (GMD) of Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc Wednesday said the company will rally support the federal government of Nigeria (FGN) on local content.

Clark said this at a courtesy visit and bell ringing ceremony to close trading at the Nigerian stock exchange (NSE) in Lagos, Nigeria.

According to him, this support would enhance local generation of raw materials in Nigeria

‘’Dangote Sugar is working to make sure that most of the raw materials that were being imported into Nigeria were made available locally, and this would save cost of importation for both manufacturing companies, individuals and the nation in general,’’ Clark said.

He affirmed that Nigeria is richly blessed in terms of agriculture and natural resources, which if are well utilised, would grow the economy.

“Dangote Sugar would play its part in growing the sugar industry in Nigeria and in making agriculture more attractive to the citizens,’’ he said.

Clark further affirmed that the company will continue to double its capacity and ensure improved returns to investors of the company, consumers and other stakeholders.
