Keffi, Nasarawa State – Dangote Fertiliser Limited has been crowned Best Agricultural Input Company at the just-concluded 17th National Agricultural Show held in Keffi, Nasarawa State (November 2025).
The award recognises Dangote’s massive contribution to Nigeria’s food security through its world-class 3 million metric tonnes per annum urea plant — the largest single-train fertiliser facility in the world — which has dramatically increased local availability and crashed imported fertiliser prices.
Organised by the National Agricultural Foundation of Nigeria (NAFN) in partnership with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security and AFAN, this year’s show themed “Empowering Smallholder Farmers: Restoring Value, Ensuring Productivity” celebrated companies driving Nigeria’s agricultural revolution.
Organisers Heap Praise on Dangote
- Arc. Kabiru Ibrahim (NAFN BoT Chairman & immediate past AFAN President):
“Dangote Group has been our greatest ally from inception. Without their tremendous support, we could not sustain this show. Having conquered petroleum, it’s time for Dangote to strategically redirect investment into agriculture for national food security.”
- Aishatu Rufai (Acting National Coordinator, NAFN):
“The 3-million-tonne urea plant is a game-changer. Dangote Fertiliser is rewriting the story of Nigerian agriculture.”
Dangote’s Response
Mrs Fatima Wali-Abdurrahman (Senior Adviser to Aliko Dangote):
“This award confirms our work is delivering real impact on farms and livelihoods. We dedicate it to our team, partners, and the millions of farmers who trust Dangote Urea.”
Group spokesman Anthony Chiejina added:
“Our next phase: expand production, deepen reach, and remain government’s long-term partner in building a sustainable agricultural economy.”
Dangote Industries Limited was again a major sponsor of the 2025 National Agricultural Show — continuing its decade-long tradition of backing the event.
From fuel to food, Dangote keeps powering Nigeria’s future.
