Former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku
Abubakar, has spoken of plans to develop Chicken Cottage Nigeria as
a regional hub for all operations in Sub-Saharan Africa.
He said this at the commissioning a
Chicken cottage outlet, owned by him, on Saturday in Abuja.
He promised to open more of the outlets
in strategically important locations in Nigeria.
“Our target is to have at least One
Chicken Cottage Restaurant in every state in Nigeria.
” Ultimately, we intend to develop
Chicken Cottage Nigeria as the regional hub for all operations in
Sub-Saharan Africa.
“Towards this end, I have given
approval to the management to commence talks with Chicken Cottage
International.”
Abubakar expressed optimism that
establishment of the cottage outlets in states would help reduce
unemployment in the country.

“You can be sure that having at least
one Chicken Cottage in every state will help get Nigerians working
again.
“We will provide gainful employment
to thousands of Nigerians who would be earning living wages which in
turn contributes to reducing unemployment in Nigeria.”
He said that Chicken Cottage would also
contribute to patronage of local farmers as the main raw materials
for the products would be sourced locally.
This according to him include
agricultural produce such as chicken, vegetables, potato, rice.
“My ultimate joy will be to patronise
our local farmers and see them have their produce bought and used
here in Nigeria and Africa, thereby empowering them.
“Furthermore, the multiplier benefits
of this enterprise would extend to transporters, beverage suppliers,
Appliance manufacturers, Artisans, Furniture makers.
