Dangote Cement

Dangote Cement is reaffirming its strategic intent to increase its annual cement production to 90 million metric tonnes by 2030. This expansion aims to make Africa self-sufficient in cement, reducing reliance on imports and supporting infrastructure development across the continent. The company's investments in plant upgrades and energy-efficient technologies are expected to reduce operational costs and environmental impact.

Dangote Cement Plc, through its Obajana Plant, commissioned two security outposts in Iwaa and Apata communities. This initiative is part of the company's commitment to community development and strengthening security in its host and impacted communities, enhancing its corporate social responsibility.

Dangote Cement's expanded gas supply agreement enables its strategic objectives, guaranteeing gas for Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) adoption as Autogas and meeting increased gas demand from expanded production capacities. This promotes cleaner fuel use and higher output.

Dangote Cement Plc is involved in a Community Development Agreement with the Ukhomuyio Community, which Michael Sado allegedly breached. There are also calls for the Nigeria===Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to investigate complicit staff of Dangote Cement Plc.

Dangote Cement has Halima Aliko Dangote on its board since 2022 and Mariya Aliko Dangote joining in 2025, indicating a strengthening of family leadership within this core business segment.
