A multibillion-naira cornflakes plant has been opened by NASCO Group Nigeria in Jos, the capital of the Plateau State.
NASCO added that the new facility’s technology is state-of-the-art and among the best in the world.
In Jos, the capital of Plateau State, where NASCO Foods is located, Governor Simon Lalong made the following remarks during the plant’s commissioning: “NASCO has been a household name not only in Plateau State and Nigeria but throughout the African continent having been around for almost six decades and identified as an icon of quality.
Indeed, since it was founded here in Plateau State in 1963 by the late great industrialist Ahmed Nasreddin, NASCO has embodied the essence of its most recognisable and distinguished crown logo, which stands for Leadership, Longevity, and Loyalty.
He asserted, “There is no question that it has served as a leader among its many rivals and served as a mentor to many young industrialists who have admired and occasionally tried to copy its products.

“I am confident to say that NASCO is one of the rare businesses whose history can be written alongside that of our dear State and country Nigeria, especially because it bears all the hallmarks of endurance, durability, immense potential, and a unique talent for survival,” he insisted.
“In a nutshell, the company is one brand that perfectly captures Nigeria’s tenacious spirit.”
“I commend the Executive Chairman, Management, and Staff of NASCO for upholding the ideals of the organization’s founding father, the Late Dr. Ahmed Idris Nasreddin, who built a strong foundation and guided the business to growth and prosperity before being called to glory.
“NASCO has consistently been one of Nigeria’s most recognisable brands and deserves to be recognised for its loyalty to the Nigerian consumer on this very significant occasion.
He added, “The secret, as we have come to learn, lies in its focus on providing a high-quality life to everyday Nigerians like you and I.
The Chairman/CEO of NASCO Group Nigeria, Dr. Attia Nasreddin, stated earlier that “Nigerian farmers contribute to preserving the nation’s food security both now and in the future.
“However, if it doesn’t get to Nigerian households, food security in and of itself is useless. To close the gap between Nigerian homes and the inherent goodness of Nigerian maize, NASCO foods has worked tirelessly through our cornflakes plant.
Our Farm2Home theme isn’t just a catchy slogan. To us, it is a sincere movement, and we have worked hard to make sure that every Nigerian benefits from the natural advantages of cornflakes, which raises the standard of living and results in a healthier and higher quality of life, the speaker insisted.
We came to witness the opening of our plant that makes cornflakes worth many billions of naira today. This new building is one of the best in the world in terms of technology.

“This new plant will continue to flake the richly yellow maize we use, ensuring that NASCO cornflakes are fortified with vitamin A,” he claimed.
We are aware of the high rates of vitamin A deficiency in our populations, which have been reported to be nearly 30% among children, 19% among pregnant women, and 13% among nursing mothers.
He said, “I’m happy to let you know that NASCO cornflakes have been approved by the Nutrition Society of Nigeria (NSN) as a reliable ready-to-eat cereal meal enriched with vitamins.
Nasreddin continued, “This new plant will be a capacity multiplier, allowing us to deliver high quality and reasonably priced cornflakes with natural goodness remaining intact as they are enjoyed by tens of millions of Nigerians and sub-saharan consumers.”
