Qatar’s largest dairy producer, Baladna, is set to establish a multi-million-dollar dairy and food processing facility in Ogun State, Nigeria.

This development aims to strengthen the country’s domestic dairy production and reduce reliance on imports.

The announcement was made during a meeting between the Baladna team and Governor Dapo Abiodun in Abeokuta.

The Governor expressed enthusiasm about the investment, highlighting Ogun State’s favorable business climate and strategic location near Nigeria’s largest consumer markets.

“We had the pleasure of receiving Baladna, a Qatari-based dairy giant, as it sets plans in motion to establish a multi-million dollar food and dairy facility in Ogun State. Their visit to Abeokuta, alongside the Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC), Aisha Rimi, marks a pivotal moment in our ongoing drive for agro-industrial transformation,” Governor Abiodun said.

The Governor emphasized that the initiative aligns with the state’s vision of promoting agri-based innovation, food security, and inclusive job creation.

He assured Baladna of the state’s full support and commitment to providing a seamless, investor-friendly environment.

“We are confident that with the right partnership, Ogun can achieve dairy self-sufficiency and reduce national dependence on imports. We reaffirm our administration’s commitment to providing a seamless, investor-friendly environment devoid of bureaucratic hurdles,” he added.

The investment is expected to create thousands of jobs, enhance productivity, and significantly boost Ogun State’s GDP. Governor Abiodun noted that this aligns with both the Renewed Hope Agenda of the Federal Government and the state’s mission of building a stronger, more prosperous Ogun State.

“Nigeria can achieve dairy self-sufficiency and reduce national dependence on imports,” the Governor reiterated, expressing optimism about the partnership’s potential.
