For Nigeria, West-Africa and Africa are blessed with abundant natural and mineral resources; fresh water; minimum of 12-hours of sunlight per day; skilled manpower; and even the four mouths of dry season per year could be tackled with proper Fresh Water Management, and Agricultural Production, Mechanization, Irrigation and Engineering. Making it possible to grow food and cash crops for 12 months per year for the people, and feedstock raw materials for SKS Plants, Agro-Industries, Domestic Food Security and Export.
Due to the discovery of Oil and Gas from Nigeria in the 1960s, the country abandoned her Agricultural based economy and focused on Oil and Gas. This led to importation of food and cash crops, including tooth-picks, pizza, tomatoes/products, rice/foods, beverages/wines/liquors, etc. Nigeria completely abandoned other sectors of the economy (Food & Agriculture, Solid Minerals, Infrastructure, Utilities, Industries, etc.) and focused solely on Energy or Oil and Gas based economy. The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had to step into the situation in-order to save the Nigerian economy, and prevent depletion of the Nigerian foreign reserves through the unnecessary importation of goods and services. The Nigerian economic issues of lack of economic diversity, limited or low capacity Utilities and infrastructure are similar to many countries in Africa. The Joint Public-Private Partnership then becomes important in making both the Public and Private sectors of the economies more efficient, viable and profitable in Nigeria, West-Africa and Africa.
With the present FGN and CBN policy of diversification of Oil and Gas based economy to other economic sectors (Food & Agricultural Value Chain; Cement & Solid Minerals; Infrastructure, Utilities, Transportation, Industries and other Investments), encouraged many domestic and foreign investors. The Sankarason was established on January 20, 2020 to harness the Treasures of Nature from the Soil, add value, make them more profitable and beneficial to the farmers, co-operatives and communities in Nigeria, West-Africa, Africa and Globally. Sankarason is basically owned by farmers and with global connections. The treasures of Nature are known to be in the Soil. We, the farmers, came together to established SKS or joined hands to tap the Natural and Mineral Resources from the Soil for the benefits of humanity.
The Sankarason is convinced that Nigerian, West-African and African Tropical Natural and Mineral resources have the potentials to sustain Nigeria, West-African, Africa and the global market economies. We then decided to focus our attention on Cement Manufacturing and Solid Minerals, the needed raw materials for Infrastructure and Industrial Development; and Food and Agricultural Value Chain (FAVC) for food security in Nigeria, West-Africa and Africa. With the intention of exporting excess Commodities, Fresh Produce, Value-Added Processed Products, Food & Cash Crops to other countries.
