“Sweet Success Amid Tough Times”

Strong Financial Performance

Despite Nigeria’s challenging economic climate, Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc delivered a blockbuster performance in 2024. Speaking through Ms. Bennedikter Molokwu at the company’s 19th Annual General Meeting (AGM), Aliko Dangote announced that the company’s turnover rose by 51% — jumping from ₦441.5 billion in 2023 to a whopping ₦665.6 billion in 2024!
• Earnings Per Share (EPS) soared from ₦6.00 to ₦15.80
• Shareholders celebrated the company’s 25th anniversary, hailing its remarkable growth journey

Vision for the Future: 75,000 Jobs & Self-Sufficiency

Looking ahead, Dangote reaffirmed his vision to build a sustainable sugar empire:
• Target: Production of 1.5 million metric tonnes of refined sugar yearly
• Impact: Creation of over 75,000 jobs across the company’s value chain
• CSR Contributions: Shareholders praised the company’s social impact, from job creation to community development
