Shehu Atiku, the Priam Group’s General Manager, made the announcement yesterday in Yola at the launching of the group’s woven sack facility at Kofare Industrial Layout on the Yolaâ€“Numan route.

In December 2019, Atiku consolidated all of his commercial ventures under the Priam Group umbrella brand.

The founder’s goal, according to the GM, was to industrialize Adamawa by
developing industries and providing jobs for the state’s and country’s
young.

He said that,

â€œThe investment will enable Priam Group to reach a revenue target of N30 billion by 2023 and N50 billion by 2025,â€

â€œPriam Group is a testament to the founderâ€™s vision for a prosperous
Adamawa, North East and Nigeria at large,â€ Shehu Atiku added.

He said that the company had big aspirations, including the opening of a Rico Gado feeds factory in Abuja this year and the growth of Adama Beverages, which makes bottled water and juice.

While opening the facility, Adamawa Governor Ahmadu Fintiri praised the former Vice President’s commercial skills and assured him of a welcoming atmosphere for economic activity in the state.

He claimed that the businesses formed in Adamawa enhanced locals’ livelihoods and enhanced the state’s IGR.

Fintiri informed the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate in the 2019 general election that he would always back his efforts to enhance the state as well as his political ambitions.
