BUA Group buys major construction firm

23 March 2020

Nigeria: BUA Group has announced its acquisition of a majority shareholding in PW Nigeria, one of Nigeria’s leading construction, engineering and mining companies. According to BUA, this was necessary to further deepen its investments in the infrastructure business in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Speaking on the acquisition, Abdul Samad Rabiu, executive chairman of BUA Group, said, “This acquisition marks the beginning of the next phase of our medium term strategy for our infrastructure business following the completion of the consolidation of our cement arm, BUA Cement in January 2020. BUA’s acquisition of majority holdings in PW Nigeria provides a prime opportunity to increase our investments in the entire value chain of the cement, mining and construction sector. We believe PW Nigeria, with its solid experience in building dams, roads, airports, water projects and other infrastructure projects in Nigeria, provided a strong value proposition too difficult to ignore.”

BUA announces plant for Ebonyi State

06 September 2018

Nigeria: BUA Group has announced that it will commence core drilling in Ebonyi State, prior to establishing a greenfield cement plant there. Speaking in the state capital Abakalik on 5 September 2018, BUA’s Managing Director Kabiru Rabiu said that he was surprised there was no cement plant already in the state, despite there being enormous limestone deposits. Ibeto Cement is in the process of setting up two integrated cement plants in the state.

"We are here because the state is blessed,” said Rabiu. “It has a huge deposit of limestone that is very high in quality. The state also has coal, which is necessary for cement production. The state is strategically located; it is close to Enugu, close to Cross River State and close to the Middle Belt.”
