The company’s extensive operations and investments have significantly contributed to job creation and overall economic prosperity.

The governor noted that the collaboration between Lafarge and the Government of Ogun State enhanced the resilience of the state during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lafarge demonstrated a strong commitment to the well-being of Ogun State residents through the provision of equipped clinics for COVID-19 patients, medical supplies, among others.

In response, the chief executive officer of Lafarge, Lolu Alade-Akinyemi highlighted the company’s proud 64-year history of contributing to the economic growth of the Ewekoro axis.

He said: “Lafarge is part of the Holcim Group, one of the world’s leading building materials giants. A commitment to the sustainable development of every community and every country in which we operate is a fundamental, non-negotiable principle in our business.”

According to Alade-Akinyemi, the company’s commitment to sustainable development is nested in four pillars- circular economy, climate and energy, and people. Lafarge’s CSR interventions and commitments are carried out under the fourth pillar, ‘people’.

Abiodun assured the company of continued collaboration for the mutual benefit of all stakeholders, noting that his government was committed to attracting other multinational companies to the state, reaffirming the Company’s commitment to contributing to the region’s ongoing development.
