Sada made the commendation weekend while on a visit to the multi-dollar plant to assess the extent of operations at the plant’s mines. A visibly impressed Sada could not hide his satisfaction with what he saw on ground.
The minister expressed his pleasure that a Nigerian industrialist has taken it upon himself to exploit, on such a large-scale, the vast deposits of limestone which can be found across Nigeria.
Besides Obajana, the Dangote Cement Company also runs a cement plant in Gboko, Benue State. A new one at Ibeshe, Ogun State will be completed next year.
Sada noted that apart from the fact that the plant runs on a modern technology, it also complies with environmental laws. He called on other Nigerian industrialists to emulate the patriotic contributions of Aliko Dangote in moving the nation’s economy forward.
