The  managing director of Obajana Cement Plc Jagat Rathee, an arm of Dangote Group, also told Business Day that Dangote Group alone produces over 60  per cent of local production as the firm’s expansion project in  Obajana, Kogi, and the construction of Ibese Cement Plant would inject  about 17 million tonnes into the market annually. The company has already commenced the construction of some facilities to actualise the export dream, but the poor condition of roads has been the limiting  factor for poor sales.

He maintains that the current plant capacity is five million metric tonnes per annum, but by the time the two new lines currently under  construction are completed, the capacity will increase from five million  to 7.5 million metric tones and target 10 million tonnes in the next 2  years. “We should have been making three trips per day but we are able to  make one trip per day, we currently export very little quantity to  Niger, Togo and Chad. If there is good road or rail lines connectivity, we should be exporting more to Cameroon and other neighbouring States,” Rathee said.

Benue  Cement Company (BCC) another subsidiary of Dangote Group has five new generating plants installed at a total capacity of 52 mega watts to  boost production capacity. These projects operators say, would inject millions of tonnes of cement into the market and even begin export in  large quantity to other ECOWAS countries.

Thirumoorthy Sukumars,  told Business Day that its five  new generating plants are installed at a total capacity of 52 mega watts to  boost production capacity. The company which locally sources raw  materials currently produces 6000 tonnes of bagged cement per day an  equivalent of 200 trucks per day.

For Lafarge WAPCO Cement, the company has completed the construction of Ewekoro plant which will be commissioned next month  to enable it keep pace with the growth in the Nigerian cement market  and maintain its market share.

The company say it is part of  strategic plans to boost its production capacity by 2.5 million metric  tonnes of cement per annum. The Lakatubu plant is expected on completion to  add 2.2 million metric tonnes to the current 2 million metric tonnes  capacity from the two plants at Ewekoro and Sagamu in Ogun State.
