Savannah Sugar Company Limited was established in 1975 by the Federal Government of Nigeria as an integrated sugar company with capacity to produce 55,000 MT of white suger from own grown sugar cane.
The moribund company in Adamawa State was acquired by Dangote Group in 2003 as part of its backward integration programme to produce Sugar in Nigeria by farming its own sugar cane.
The Savannah Sugar Company's vast farm of excellent flat land spread over 32,000 hectares, bountifully irrigated by the Kiri Dam on Gongola River which provides water by gravity along with the ideal climate of the North Eastern Nigeria.
Adopting latest farming techniques, the Group has bought 20,000 hectares farm of the factory under cultivation to produce 150,000 MT/Annum of raw sugar.
