Executive secretary/CEO, NSDC Kamar Bakrin, made this declaration during a meeting weekend with investors from Uttam Sucrotech International (India), Niger Food Security Systems & Logistics Ltd, and American West African Agro (AWAA).

The discussions centred around Utham’s role in supporting the Greenfield project established by AWAA in Niger State, with Utham providing key services for sugar development. Utham’s Global Business Development Leader, Sanjiv Gulati, highlighted the company’s expertise in setting up field and factory operations for sugar projects across India, Europe, and Africa. He also mentioned their capability in fabricating equipment for the sugar industry and their success in achieving a 13 per cent sugar recovery rate.

Adding to the discussions, Utham’s financial expert, Mr. Flavio Castellari, shared insights from the Brazilian sugar industry, particularly strategies that Nigeria could adopt to boost funding and efficiency in its own sugar projects.

The executive chairman of Niger Foods, Sammy Adigun, further elaborated on financing arrangements for the development of a 100,000-hectare sugar project in Niger State. He highlighted the importance of corporate and sovereign guarantees in securing funding and emphasised the company’s track record in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
