A major Merchant of Dangote Group of companies Alhaji Salisu Sambajo has praised the Dangote Group for ensuring that there is no increase in the prices of essentials during the fasting period.
Alhaji Salisu Sambajo while speaking to journalists at his office at the Singar market in Kano, explained that the company sells a bag of sugar to major Dealer at the rate of N 18,500 and the company makes a refund of N 250 per each to the dealers
“I am among the major Dealers of Dangote products in Nigeria, to the best of my knowledge there was no time Dangote company increases the price of his commodities during fasting period”
“Sometimes retailers who buy sugar from major Dealers, jacked up the price upward when they arrived at their destinations.
“What Dangote has done to us at this singer market, its only God that can reward him abundantly, years back, Dangote use to give us commodities to sell without collateral, until after we’ve sold the commodities, then we pay back and take the profit”
Also, speaking another major Dealer of Dangote products Alhaji Sabo Dankoli explained that they have never experienced a hike in price from Dangote company during Ramadan.
” There are a lot of commodities on the ground this year, am assuring the general populace that this year we are not expecting any hike in sugar and other commodities, just like last year. Even last year, despite the COVID-19 pandemic which caused lockdown, Dangote companies did not hike the prices of their products
Commending the Dangote Group on efforts to ensure that there is no price increase of essential commodities during the fasting period, Chairman, Kano State Public Complaints and Anti- Corruption Commission, Barr. Muhuyi Magaji Rimingado lauded the company for flooding the market with goods.

“That was why we appreciated the company with a letter of Commendation last week. I hope the company will sustain the initiative even after the holy month of Ramadan.’’
