Nigeria: The Nigerian Vice President Yemi Osinbajo commissioned the 3Mt/yr second kiln line at the BUA Obu Cement plant at Okpella, Edo State on 30 August 2017. He had earlier performed the ground-breaking ceremony at the start of the construction phase of the line. Once the line is fully commissioned in early 2018, it will bring the plant’s capacity to 6Mt/yr.

"This project is a big boost to the Nigerian economy and it will provide employment opportunity for both the skilled and unskilled youths of this state and the country at large," said Osinbajo, adding that the plant's capacity would consolidate Nigeria's self-sufficiency in cement and be a big boost to the nation's export capacity
