This extensive presence positions the company as a strategic partner in national development programmes, housing projects, and large-scale construction initiatives. Dangote Cement Plc is a subsidiary of Dangote Industries, one of Africa’s most diversified industrial groups. Dangote Industries was founded in 1981 by Aliko Dangote as a trading enterprise, initially focused on the importation of bagged cement and essential commodities including rice, sugar, flour, salt, and fish. From these origins, Dangote Cement has evolved into a fully integrated cement manufacturing powerhouse, driven by a clear strategy of local production, backward integration, and long-term capital investment. The company remains committed to operational excellence, sustainability, and value creation for stakeholders, while contributing meaningfully to Africa’s industrialisation agenda.
