Manufacturing stands as a potent method for uplifting people from poverty through the generation of gainful employment, which has led to the establishment of the Graduate Trainee program, benefiting the newly inducted trainees.

In pursuit of meeting people’s needs and creating substantial job opportunities, Dangote Group recently expanded its business portfolios with investments exceeding $20 billion in the refinery, petrochemical, and fertilizer sectors.

The core values of the Dangote organization, as highlighted by Aliko Dangote, encompass Customer Service, Entrepreneurship, Excellence, and Leadership. He encouraged the new trainees to dream big and approach their work with passion.
