Our target is to end sugar import, earn forex from export — Adedeji

Mr Zacch Adedeji, Executive Secretary of the National Sugar Development Council (NSDC) By Mon Jul 26 2021 Mr Zacch Adedeji is the Executive Secretary of the National Sugar Development Council (NSDC).

The country was spending heavily on the importation of refined sugar hitherto to meet its consumption, which has now grown to 1.7 million metric tonnes. Through the instrumentality of the plan put in place by the agency, Nigeria now has a combined local production capacity that is about twice that.
