“This factory isn’t just a structure of bricks and mortar; It embodies my long-term unwavering belief in Nigeria’s Agricultural and manufacturing opportunity. We are going to process our range of dried fruits at scale, to serve customers across the country, as well as sell “Made in Nigeria” to the rest of the world, creating several hundred jobs, and positively impacting farmers at scale. It is my hope that our factory stands as a positive symbol in the business landscape of Nigeria for generations to come”.
