Dangote Cement Plc is transforming Africa’s cement industry through a $1 billion deal with Sinoma International Engineering.
Dangote, Sinoma Expansion Across Africa
Under this agreement, the company will build 12 new plants and expand existing facilities across the continent.
The Memorandum of Understanding signed in Lagos last Friday marks a major milestone in industrial development.
Driving Production And Efficiency
President and CEO of Dangote Industries Limited, Aliko Dangote, said the projects will help the company reach 80 million tonnes of annual production by 2030.
“These plants will support Africa’s urbanisation and industrial growth while advancing the Group’s Vision 2030 plan,” he explained.
As a result, Dangote Cement will strengthen its leadership in Nigeria, boost exports, optimise assets, and increase operational efficiency across Africa.

Furthermore, in Nigeria, the company will expand plants in Itori, Apapa, Lekki, Port Harcourt, Onne, and northern regions—including a satellite grinding unit—to increase domestic supply.
Meanwhile, Ethiopia will receive a new production line to meet rising local demand, and Zambia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, and Cameroon will benefit from new and upgraded facilities.
Sustainability And Financial Strength
Moreover, to ensure smooth operations, Dangote Cement has secured Gas Sales and Purchase Agreements with NNPC subsidiaries, guaranteeing stable fuel supply and supporting cleaner options like CNG and Autogas.
Modern technologies across integrated plants and distribution hubs will improve efficiency, reduce costs, and lower emissions.
Financially, the company continues to impress.
Nine-month results to September 30, 2025 show revenue of ₦3.15 trillion, up 23%, EBITDA of ₦1.43 trillion, up 57%, and profit after tax of ₦743.3 billion, up 166%.
Ultimately, by expanding facilities, modernising operations, and increasing efficiency, Dangote Cement is creating jobs, supporting infrastructure, and shaping Africa’s cement self-sufficiency.
