By Aduragbemi Omiyale

A new range of Dangote seasoning products has been introduced by NASCON Allied Industries Plc, expanding its consumer foods portfolio.

The products were unveiled at the 2026 Lagos International Trade Fair, which entered its 40th edition this year.

The new seasonings are Dangote Classic, Dangote Beef Seasoning and Dangote Chicken Seasoning.

The chief executive of NASCON, Mrs Aderemi Saka, described the introduction of the products as an important milestone in the company’s transformation into a more diversified food products company.

“For over 50 years, NASCON Allied Industries Plc, also known as Dangote Salt, has been a leading salt refiner in Nigeria and a trusted name in Nigerian households,” she said.

The NASCON chief explained that the firm entered the seasoning market in 2014 in response to changing consumer preferences and as part of efforts to diversify its product portfolio beyond salt.

“The reintroduction of Dangote Classic and the introduction of Dangote Beef Seasoning and Dangote Chicken Seasoning reflect our commitment to product innovation, greater consumer choice and quality seasoning solutions specially tailored to Nigerian consumers,” Mrs Saka disclosed.

She promised that the organisation remains committed to developing products that enhance everyday cooking, enrich meals and deliver value to households across Nigeria.

Mrs Saka revealed that NASCON chose the Lagos Trade Fair for the unveiling of the new products because it is an important platform for engaging consumers, distributors, business partners and other stakeholders while showcasing the company’s growing portfolio of food products.

Also speaking at the event, the Executive Director of Commercial Operations at Dangote Industries Limited, Ms Fatima Aliko-Dangote, noted that trade fairs go beyond buying and selling to serve as important platforms for innovation, business partnerships and economic opportunities that connect businesses, communities and economies.

According to her, sustainable economic growth must be anchored on production, as manufacturing creates jobs, builds skills and transforms raw materials into higher-value products, adding that this conviction informed Dangote Group’s strategic transition from trading to manufacturing and continues to underpin its investments across critical sectors of the African economy.
