Nigeria: Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru has established a 15-member committee to reactivate NIGERCEM, the country’s first locally-owned cement manufacturing company, located in Nkalagu.
He directed the committee to work with investors and shareholders to devise a plan for the immediate resumption of operations at the plant, which has been shut down for decades, and to submit its report within two weeks.
“Restoring the company was part of my campaign promise when I visited the area. I assured that the factory will be revived within my first tenure in office,” Nwifuru said.
