Dangote Cement to become largest cement exporter in sub-Saharan Africa

Aliko Dangote, president of Dangote Industries Ltd, has revealed the target set for Dangote Cement’s export plans by next year.

"By next year we will be the largest exporter of cement in sub-Saharan Africa with about US$600m worth of cement export to other African countries with limited access to limestone," he said.

Speaking at the 2018 Dangote Cement Distributors' Award Night, Mr Dangote also noted the role cement terminals will play in these plans. "In addition, we also have new terminals coming up at Onne and in Lagos and we are hopeful the congestion at Apapa will soon be behind us helping us meet our export targets."
