I am a graduate of Niger’s National School of Administration and Magistracy, specializing in domestic and state taxation. After completing my degree, I performed my national civic service duty at the Ministry of Economy and Finance. In 2009, I took over general management of the Société Immobilière les DALLOLS SA. Being a very ambitious young man, I resigned after two years and created my own export company called ADDAX.COM.
Following a meeting in Paris with the company NEXIRA in 2012, I decided to specialize in the marketing and export of gum arabic. But I didn’t like what I saw when I visited the production area for the first time–thousands of hectares of degraded land, devastated nature and biodiversity under threat. Since that day, a connection was born between nature and me because I heard its call for help. I decided to turn the gum arabic industry into an accelerator for land restoration in the Sahel. Collaborating with the Ministry of the Environment, the Great Green Wall and SOS SAHEL INTERNATIONAL Niger, my initiatives will recover more than 50 hectares of degraded land.
