He noted that “at the start of the year, we outlined three key priorities: margin recovery, cost management and process improvement, and market penetration.

“Through process reviews and targeted realignments, we explored smarter ways of operating internally. This approach included close engagement with suppliers and service providers across the value chain, and I am pleased that the results are reflected in the improved margins reported. “

According to Binji, during the year, we hosted our partners at the ‘Pillars of Strength’ Awards; expanded our logistics capacity, adding 500 new bulk cement tankers, and resumed exports to Niger and Burkina Faso. We also launched a

24-hour service centre to further enhance customer responsiveness. Key projects, including Ososo Line-1 and the Sokoto regasification plant are progressing on schedule.

“On completion, our installed capacity will reach 20mmtpa, positioning us to meet growing local and regional demand.”

Looking ahead to 2026, he said “our key priorities will focus on enhanced cost management, deeper local and regional market penetration, and advancing sustainability initiatives. Steps are underway to ensure we meet our target date for the pilot IFRS sustainability report for the 2026 financial year.”
