Our Group volumes grew by 1.6 per cent year-on-year, reaching 27.7 million tonnes, driven by a strong recovery in Nigeria, where we improved efficiency and boosted sales growth by 7.9 per cent.”

Recognizing our sustainability efforts, the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) upgraded Dangote Cement’s rating to B across both climate and water categories,” he stated.
