The Grenada and St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Ministers, Nigeria's two ministers and the Zamfara State governor, who led separate delegations to the Dangote stand on Friday, September 5, 2025, commended the far-reaching impact of the Dangote Group in its various investments in Nigeria and Africa, which have boosted economic development across the continent.
They were received by Engr. Mansur Ahmed, Special Adviser to, and Representative of, the President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote; and Group Head, Commercial Foods, Dangote Industries Limited, Garba EL-Suleiman, and other key executives of Dangote Industries.

During the week-long fair, more than 2,000 exhibitors, including businesses from the African continent and globally, are showcasing their goods and services to visitors and buyers while exploring opportunities and exchanging trade and market information, which is projected to translate into over US$44 billion in trade and investment deals.
