The Executive Director of Commercial Operations at Dangote Group, Fatima Aliko-Dangote, has reaffirmed the conglomerate’s commitment to strategic partnerships aimed at accelerating industrialisation, reducing import dependence, creating shared prosperity, and driving sustainable economic growth.
Aliko-Dangote made this known on Thursday during Dangote Day at the ongoing 15th Gateway Trade Fair, organised by the Ogun Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (OGUNCCIMA) in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
She was represented at the event by the Regional Sales Director, Lagos, Tunde Mabogunje, who delivered her remarks to participants drawn from across the business and manufacturing sectors.
According to her, the theme of this year’s trade fair, “Promoting Businesses through Partnership,” is both timely and relevant, as it aligns closely with the core values and long-standing vision of the Dangote Group.
“The message of partnership resonates strongly with us at Dangote Industries,” she said, noting that collaboration remains critical to building resilient value chains, supporting local manufacturing, and strengthening the broader economy.
Aliko-Dangote stated that as the lead sponsor of the trade fair, Dangote Industries is proud to partner with OGUNCCIMA to deepen commercial activities, expand market access, and stimulate growth across key sectors.
“Dangote Industries is proud to stand with OGUNCCIMA to deepen commerce, strengthen value chains, and open markets for manufacturers, MSMEs, and consumers across the region,” she added.
She further emphasised that partnerships between large corporations, small and medium-scale enterprises, and trade institutions are essential to reducing imports, boosting local production, and unlocking opportunities for businesses at all levels.
The Gateway Trade Fair continues to serve as a platform for networking, innovation, and collaboration, bringing together stakeholders to explore opportunities that will foster inclusive growth and long-term economic development in Ogun State and Nigeria at large.
