The company further   noted that its debt service cost stood at ¦ 11.89 billion, up   by 14 percent YoY, from ¦ 10.45 billion in Q3 2019, due to additional term borrowing to finance the TAM programme and the impact of Naira devaluation on foreign currency denominated loans.

It continued: “Notore’s gradual revenue growth is attributable to some improvements in Plant reliability derived from the on-going Turn-Around Maintenance (TAM) programme, which has begun to impact positively on Plant operations, resulting in some modest increases in production volumes and production on-stream days during the period.”

Commenting, Notore’s Group Managing Director, Mr. Onajite   Okoloko, said, “Having installed and commissioned a brand new 2,000 metric tons per day NPK Blending Plant with capacity to produce various crop specialty blends of NPK fertilizer, the company is consolidating customer loyalty by expanding its product offerings.
