The chief executive of Dangote Cement, Arvind Pathak, said in a statement to the Nigerian Exchange that the company was encouraged by the growth in its export business.

He said, “Export volumes from Nigeria increased by 18.2 per cent, with 18 successful clinker shipments made to Ghana and Cameroon. This demonstrates the growing importance of our pan-African footprint and our ongoing commitment to regional trade and self-sufficiency.”

Pathak also revealed that the company’s strategic priorities remained focused on long-term value creation, saying that Dangote Cement had significantly strengthened its cost architecture.

“During the period, we began the phased delivery of 1,600 additional CNG-powered trucks, which will significantly reduce our logistics costs and enhance environmental efficiency,” he explained.
