The Federal Government of Nigeria has reaffirmed the quality of Dangote Group’s products, putting to rest controversies surrounding the soundness of some of its offerings, particularly petroleum products. This endorsement came from Dr. Dafang I. Sule, Acting Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, during his address at the ongoing Kaduna International Trade Fair.
Dr. Sule, who represented President Bola Tinubu and Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, emphasized that the excellence of Dangote products is evident in their widespread patronage and the company’s rapid expansion. He stated, “The quality of Dangote products is not in doubt and that is why people patronize them. You can see that the company is growing every day. I think it is doing a very good job.”
