Commercial director, Lafarge Africa, Gbenga Onimowo added, “over the years, Unicem has built a strong reputation, earning the trust of consumers as a reliable and dependable option.

“At Lafarge Africa, we remain committed to leading the promotion of green products to drive sustainable construction within Nigeria’s built environment and we are proud of this significant achievement.”
