Nigeria: HBM Nigeria, formerly Lafarge Africa, says it is expanding production capacity with an additional 4.5Mt/yr to ensure a steady supply of cement across the country and meet rising demand. Group managing director Lolu Alade-Akinyemi said that the company is making progress on the expansion of its Sagamu plant in Ogun and Ashaka plant in Gombe, with both facilities planned to be inaugurated in January 2027.
“We are breaking a record because we’re adding this new capacity within one year. Traditionally, when you are building a new plant, it takes about three years. This is one of the benefits of belonging to the Huaxin Group,” said Alade-Akinyemi.
