News UniCem debunks report on planned relocation to Lagos

UniCem debunks report on planned relocation to Lagos

Written by Global Cement staff 19 June 2015

Nigeria: According to This Day Life, United Cement Company of Nigeria Limited (UniCem) has denied claims that it was making plans to relocate from Calabar, the Cross River State capital, to Lagos.

UniCem debunked the claims following a publication made by the Cross River State-owned Weekend Chronicle to the effect that the alleged planned relocation had caused internal crisis in the company. However, UniCem has reacted to the speculated relocation plan through a press statement and said that there was no truth in the report.

"United Cement Company of Nigeria Limited (UniCem) has declared as false a publication on the front page of the Weekend Chronicle of 19 June 2015 with the caption 'Crisis rocks UniCem over relocation plan,'" said the statement, which was signed by UniCem's corporate affairs director Ayi Ita Ayi. Ayi said that, "The report is false, misleading and lacking in truth." He added that UniCem operates in Calabar and will never be relocated to Lagos for any reason. He questioned why anyone would contemplate that UniCem, with such a huge investment in Cross River, would relocate its assets to Lagos and expressed surprise over why, a reputable media organisation such as the Nigerian Chronicle, did not cross-check facts before going to press on such a sensitive issue.
