Dangote Group has announced a series of strategic technical partnerships to support the next phase of expansion of its fertiliser operations in Nigeria, as well as the development of new fertiliser plants in Ethiopia.

The collaborations are part of the company’s long-term plan to strengthen regional food security, boost agricultural productivity, and reinforce Africa’s presence in the global fertiliser market.

In a statement, Dangote Group said:

“Through these strategic partnerships, Dangote Group will increase its urea production capacity in Nigeria from the current three million metric tons to nine million metric tons annually. The existing facility operates two trains with a combined capacity of three million metric tons. The expansion will introduce four additional trains, enabling the Group to meet rising demand for high-quality fertiliser across Africa and global markets.”

The Group also recently held a groundbreaking ceremony for a $2.5 billion fertiliser plant in Gode, Ethiopia, which is designed to produce three million metric tons of urea annually. This represents a significant step in Dangote Group’s commitment to food security and industrial growth across the continent.

Topsoe will provide ammonia technology licensing and complete process design packages for six ammonia plants—four in Nigeria and two in Ethiopia. Topsoe is globally recognised for advanced ammonia process technologies that support efficient and environmentally responsible production.

Additionally, Dangote Cement Plc reaffirmed its commitment to community welfare through sustained social investment programmes in host communities across Nigeria and pan-Africa.
