Speaking at the inauguration of the scheme, general manager, Community Affairs /Special Duties, Mr. Ademola Adeyemi, said the trainees are being paid monthly stipends while the training lasts, saying, ‘when completed, the youth will add great value to their communities, Kogi State, and Nigeria.’

Reacting, divisional director, Transport of the Dangote Cement, Mr. Ajay Singh, said some of the areas of training include: auto mechanic, auto electrical, welding and panel beating/fabrication.

The workshop manager, Engineer Alfa Adamu, said the trainees were divided into different engineering sections based on their strengths and interests, adding that, the trainees have so far spent three months.

In the same vein, the chief executive officer of Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc, Ravindra Singhvi assured stakeholders that the proposed merger between Dangote Sugar Refinery, NASCON Allied Industries, and Dangote Rice to form Dangote Foods Plc is expected to yield many benefits, solely for the growth of the business and high returns to all the key stakeholders.

Speaking last week on the Business Morning programme of Channels Television, Ravindra said, the merger when completed will bring economies of scale to the business.

He maintained that the merger would lead to cost reduction as the evolved company will gain with an increase in production. The cost, according to him, will now be spread over many goods.

According to him, Dangote Foods will have operational efficiencies, as there would be a reduction in the time needed to obtain raw materials, fuel and manpower for production.

“Also, it is expected that the merger will result in improvement in the supply side of the food industry as many products will roll out of the one-stop food company.

“The Dangote Sugar Refinery helmsman opined that the merger will further advance the backward integration strategy of the Group as resources, machinery, and skilled manpower are to be harnessed to drive the process.”

Dangote Foods Plc, he stated, will have the potential for more geographical spread than the legacy companies as the products will be readily available in all the niche markets of the former and even more given the combined assets in terms of manpower, product range, transport, and warehouses.

“The company will have a stronger business case for access to capital as the combined business will be bigger and more attractive to lenders,” he added.
