Dangote Cement Plc on Thursday commissioned its 2.5 million metric
tonnes cement plant in Ethiopia, as the company inches towards the mark
of 62 million metric tonnes total production capacity globally before
the end of 2017.
Located in Mugher District, about 85 kilometres from Addis Ababa, the
capital city, there are indications that the government and the people
of Ethiopia are excited about the completion of the project and the
economic prospects of having such a huge company in that area of the
country.
According to the group, the plant will initially produce 2.5 million
metric tonnes a year to meet up with the growing market, as construction
boom in the country has led to a shortage of cement in the country.
