Congo: Nigeria-based Dangote Cement has announced that it will begin shipping cement produced at its 1.5Mt/yr integrated Mfila plant in Bouenza region, Congo, to other African countries.
Reuters News has reported that Dangote Cement’s Nigerian exports fell by 41% to 0.5Mt in 2019 from 0.8Mt in 2018. Dangote Cement CEO Joseph Makoju attributed the flop to the government’s closure of Nigeria’s border with Benin, part of a crackdown on smuggling and the illegal weapons trade.
