Senegalese football star Sadio Mané has launched a mango-processing plant valued at $20.4m in Bambali, his hometown, according to Punch Nigeria.

The source described the project as a mango-processing plant but did not provide details about its production capacity, the number of jobs expected to be created or the products it will make. It also did not specify when commercial operations will begin. The launch links Mané’s public profile as a footballer with an investment in agricultural processing in Bambali.
