The Dangote Sugar Refinery (DSR) employs no fewer than 7,000 workers yearly in its Backward Integration Project (BIP) in Numan, Adamawa State.  

Speaking during a media tour of the company in Numan, the company’s Group General Manager, Operations, Bello Abdullahi Dan-Musa, said, that despite employing thousands of abled- youths as direct employees, the company also employed, more than 7,000 youths at the peak of the production season.  

It would be noted that Dangote Group is Nigeria’s biggest employer of labour after the Government.  

Only recently, he said the company paid over N500 million to the out-growers for the sugarcane they produced under the DSR Numan out-growers scheme.

According to Mr. Dan-Musa, Dangote Sugar Refinery Numan has contributed immensely in the realization of the Backward Integration programme of the Federal Government.  “Dangote Sugar Refinery is Nigeria’s largest producer of household and commercial sugar” he said.  

  President of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, had said that upon completion of the BIP projects, his sugar company will be able to create about three hundred thousand direct and indirect jobs, with positive multiplier effects on the national economy. 

  Speaking during the media tour, Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director, Chinnaya Sylvain Judex, said the expansion drive has reached a significant mileage.

  According to him, the company has acquired state-of-the-art machines to support its production process, adding that it facilities are environmentally friendly.  

Mr. Judex said its Backward Integration goal is to become a global force in sugar production, by producing 1.5M MT/PA of refined sugar from locally grown sugar cane for the domestic and export markets.  

He said the company operates an independent power system, and that excess energy will be redirected to the national grid.  

According to him, the power, from the Dangote Sugar Refinery, Numan, when redirected to the National Grid has the potential to contribute immensely to the rapid development of the economy of the entire Northeast. 

Mr. Judex added that the energy will bring about accelerated development and industrialization in the region.

He commended the company for creating thousands of job opportunities for the people of Adamawa State, and Nigeria, adding that his Kingdom is the biggest beneficiary of the company.   

The Executive Director, Climate Africa Media Initiative and Centre (CAMIC) Mr..Aliu Akoshile commended the Hama Bachama for providing the peaceful environment needed to do business in his domain.  

The State Chairman of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), Comrade Ishaka Donald Dedan, commended the Monarch for always playing a fatherly role, adding that the Adamawa people are proud that the company has provided jobs for their people.
