Nigeria: BUA Group to use local coal deposits at Sokoto

Cement Company of Northern Nigeria (CCNN), owned by the BUA Group, will use coal from local mines in Sokoto to generate power for its new 1.5Mta cement plant located in the north west of the country.

A 40MW power plant is being constructed at the factory, which will use both coal and LPFO (Low Pour Fuel Oil), while the excess generated power will supply the national grid.
