“The company has been up and doing to ensure an effective restoration of cement supply across the states. Dangote Cement will soon inject 2000 trucks into the cement supply chain as well as the revival of the Gboko plant and extension of a production plant line.”
The Registrar, Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), Prof. Joseph Odigwe, told the participants that Nigeria’s cement industry has been producing cement that is of international standard.
A participant, Engr. Aliyu Aliyu, said Dangote cement has gained the confidence of cement users in the country, adding that there is a need for brand specification to allow its effective use.
