The Dangote Group has opened a tomato-processing factory near Nigeria’s northern city of Kano aimed at competing againts imports from China.
“We have fully started operations today and the target is 1,200 metric tons per day,” the managing director of Dangote Farms Limited, which runs the plant, Abdulkareem Kaita, said Tuesday in an interview with Bloomberg.
He said: “We are going to work with the farmers, they can afford to produce more because there’s a processing factory and they don’t have to suffer losses like they did before.”
The plant, which will produce 1,200 metric tons per day was built following a 2011 Central Bank of Nigeria study that showed it was cheaper to process tomato paste locally than import from China, the source of about 300,000 tons a year worth $360 million.
Dangote’s facility will produce more than 400,000 tons of paste annually, with most of its raw material coming from farmers in the Kadawa Valley in Kano state.
To this end, the Efficiency Unit has engaged in discussions with local and international airlines for discounts commensurate with the large number of ticket purchases made by government annually. The savings generated will increase funding available to the government for capital investment.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it will not compromise on the standard of its Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME), irrespective of pressures from any quarters.
According to Dr Fabian Benjamin, the board’s Head of the Media and Information, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Lagos.
It was reported that the board registered over 1.8 million candidates for the on going 2016 UTME, which will commence on Feb. 27.
According to Benjamin, he said that the conduct of the examination, which ends on March 19, had so far been successful, despite few technical hitches recorded in some centres.
He also said that, some persons, despite the board’s efforts in ensuring standard and global best practices in the conduct of its examination, are working hard to destroy it.
He also added that,“Our examinations conducted on the Computer Based Test (CBT) platform are meant to be carried out only in centres with the full complement of all indices needed for the success of the examination.
He also said that,“We are worried by plans by a faceless group, under the aegis of education consultants, to stage a protest in Lagos over some challenges encountered in the conduct of the ongoing examination.
He said,“We believe that this group of people are biased as they are owners of some of the examination centres that were lacking basic facilities for the successful conduct of our CBT,’’ he said.
According to Benjamin, the board had approved centres provided by these individuals to be used for the 2016 exercise.
He regretted that some of the centres were not conducive as most of the computers and other backup facilities provided were faulty.
He also said that the development caused a major challenge in the conduct of the examination but for the timely intervention of the officials of the board that were on ground.
He said that the development was later discussed with the owners of the centres and they showed understanding as they also witnessed the difficulties the board went through.
Benjamin also urged Nigerian youths not to allow themselves to be used by these persons to achieve their selfish motives.
Benjamin also advised candidates with genuine complaints not to hesitate to visit to the board’s offices nationwide for prompt attention.
The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, has ordered the electricity distribution companies to provide pre-paid meters for their customers without further delay. He said this at the third monthly meeting with the power sector operators at the Ugwuaji Transmission Station, Enugu, on Monday.
He said the companies must discharge their responsibilities of meeting the demands of the customers by supplying them with pre-paid meters so as to avoid estimated billings.
The minister stated that the meeting discussed the issue of availability of gas, volatility of the foreign exchange market, financial capability of the distribution companies and difficulties in the pricing of gas in dollars instead of the local currency, among others.
Fashola further noted that it is not the responsibility of the government to explain to Nigerians why certain firms are not meeting up with their obligations, having sold the various companies to private investors.
“If you are not getting power from the transmission company, you must tell your customers so. The issue of review of tariff was arrived at after consultation. You (Discos) did the consultation. Why don’t you step out and explain the issue to your customers? All of us must explain to our different customers where we operate,” he said.
