FG commends Sona Agro Allied Foods on quality products, backward integration

ACTING President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo  has commended  Sona Agro Allied Foods on its quality products delivery and  its cashew biscuit, describing the  product manufactured locally as a clear recognition of Federal Government’s policy on backward integration.

“It is an excellent product by Sona Agro Allied Foods,” Acting President Yemi Osinbajo remarked after tasting for the first time the cashew biscuit Sona Bites brand during the exhibition organised by the Ogun State Chapter of Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, (MAN) in Abeokuta.

The Acting President, who expressed delight at the good quality taste of the locally-produced premium biscuit brand, especially its crunchiness also expressed his excitement  that the product, because of these qualities,  is fast taking the place of imported biscuit products in the local market.

Osinbajo  also commended the  company on its  commitment to the local content initiative; since  almost 90 per cent of raw materials being used for the biscuit are sourced locally.

“I want to specially commend your company’s commitment to backward integration by depending on locally sourced raw materials in your manufacturing, as well as appreciate you for contributing to job creation. It is needless to say that  the federal government  isvery passionate about this,” he stated.
