Beneficiaries of Dangote Cement Plc empowerment schemes at Obajana have spoken glowingly about how the company’s social programmes have impacted their lives.

Speaking to newsmen at Obajana in Kogi State, Oluwafisayo Obanla, a beneficiary who was trained and equipped in poultry farming, expressed gratitude to the company for giving him the opportunity to become a qualified poultry farmer.

He said that in addition to the 50 Point-Of-Lay Birds the company gave him, he had expanded his stock by acquiring 150 broilers, and he now enjoys a steady income through daily egg sales.

According to Obanla, the Obajana community has undergone a significant transformation, as beneficiaries have also employed members of their families and communities.

In 2023, the company trained 30 youths from Oyo, Iwaa, Apata and Obajana host communities, equipping them with essential vocational skills.

In her reaction, Berida Omaleke Ruth, a beneficiary from the Apata Community, thanked the President of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, for giving her the opportunity to be a poultry farmer.
