Tanzania: Nigeria’s Dangote Cement has struck a deal with the government-run Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) to supply gas to its cement plant. Company chairman Aliko Dangote met with President John Magufuli on 10 December 2016 to negotiate the agreement, according to Reuters. The agreement follows a dispute between Dangote and the TPDC over the price of gas. Magufuli said that Dangote could now buy gas directly from TPDC. No price details were released. In late November 2016 Dangote’s representative in the country denied that a stoppage at its plant was related to high production costs.
