On his part, the Chairman, BUA Group Plc, Abdul Samad Rabiu, CON, represented by Group Executive Director, BUA Foods Plc, Alhaji Kabiru Rabiu stated, \u201cToday for us is very historic and we are excited to begin the year with the listing. The population of Nigeria is over 200million and our food production capacity is still not enough to meet current demands. However, with the listing of our food business on the NGX, there is high hope for Nigeria in terms of building capacity for food sufficiency. We are, therefore, positioning our brand to take advantage of export opportunities through our strategically located plants from which foreign exchange can be generated both for the company and economy. As a listed company, BUA Group has benefitted first-hand from NGX\u2019s efforts to chart a path for the sustainable development of the Nigerian economy. It has, therefore, been exciting for BUA Foods to go through a similar journey and we are confident that by leveraging the collaborative approach prevalent in the market, the entire Group of companies will be equipped to increasingly deliver value to its shareholders\/ We certainly look forward to benefitting from the new opportunities that have opened up to as on the platform of The Exchange\u201d.<\/p>\n
