The firm has tentacles in the food, personal care, and agro-processing sectors through its subsidiary, Mamuda Beverages.

Already, the company has acquired an expanse of land for its plant in Ogun State, with the foundation laying scheduled for next month, according to the Governor of Ogun State, Mr Dapo Abiodun, who said this is part of ongo​​ing efforts to make the state a top destination for industrial growth in Nigeria.

“We are pleased that our administration’s commitment to creating a business-friendly environment is attracting major investors,” he stated, noting that, “Our open-door policy and investor support structures continue to set us apart.”

Business Post learned that Mamuda Group chose the South-West state for its new factory because of its strategic location, bordering Lagos and connecting to Ibadan and Benin, making it ideal for regional distribution and production.

The organization currently employs over 13,000 people across sectors such as leather exports, agro-sack production, confectionery, soft drinks, and personal care.

With this new development in Ogun State, the company plans to begin with 1,500 employees, growing to 3,000 as operations expand, aligning with the state government’s goal of creating quality jobs and strengthening the state’s manufacturing base.

Governor Abiodun said to further support growth, his administration has developed key infrastructure like Nigeria’s best-equipped airport and a licensed dry port linked to the rail line.

According to him, these facilities will streamline importation and logistics, cutting delays and costs, noting that with tools like the Business Environment Council, the state government is not only attracting investment, but building lasting confidence in Ogun State’s economic future.
