The Dangote Group has unveiled a multi-billion naira agricultural partnership with the Niger State Government to boost rice production and strengthen Nigeria’s food security.


According to a statement, the Senior Special Adviser to the President of Dangote Group, Fatima Abdurrahman, announced the partnership during the opening of the 2025 Niger National Trade Fair in Minna.


She disclosed that the conglomerate is investing heavily in a 32 metric tonnes per hour rice mill project located in Wushishi, which sits on a 30-hectare site, noting that the mill is “progressing steadily and on track for completion.”


She stated that the project forms part of the Niger Food Initiative, an agricultural development programme launched by the state government in collaboration with the private sector.


“As part of our commitment to advancing agriculture, we plan to establish one of the largest rice mills here in Niger State,” the Dangote official said.


Abdurrahman explained that the high-capacity mill would significantly boost rice production and storage in the state, describing it as “a cutting-edge facility that incorporates the latest innovations in rice milling technology.”


“This state-of-the-art facility ensures high efficiency, minimal waste, and premium-quality output,” she added. “Once operational, it will not only boost local rice production but also strengthen the entire agricultural value chain, from farm to market.”
