The company’ net profit stood at N53.647 billion as against N51.004 billion recorded in 2021, while basic earnings per share rose to N3.33 from N3.17. The company proposed a final dividend of N2.00 per share higher than N1.00 per share declared in 2021.

Speaking on the results, CEO of Lafarge Africa, Khaled El Dokani said:“in 2022, we recorded 27.3 percent and 29.3 per cent improvement in net sales and recurring EBIT respectively, compared to full year 2021 results. The worsening exchange rate situation led to revaluation losses, thereby constraining our net income growth to 5.2 per cent.”

“We remain committed to our sustainability ambitions by utilizing affordable clean energy in our operations and optimizing our green logistics strategy; among other initiatives that are in alignment with our net zero pledge journey,” he added.

“Listed on the Premium Board of the Nigerian Exchange Group, Lafarge Africa is actively participating in the urbanisation and economic growth of Nigeria, the largest economy in Africa. In 2023, it expects to consolidate its efforts on sustainability.”
