Dangote’s Itori plant to anchor cement exports across Africa
Dangote Cement’s newly established plant in Itori, Ogun State, has been designated as an export-focused facility. The company says the plant will serve as the hub of its strategy to expand cement shipments to African markets, although the supplied material does not provide production, investment or export-volume figures.
Dangote Cement’s new plant in Itori, Ogun State, has been established as a facility dedicated entirely to exports, according to information published by Punch Nigeria. The plant is intended to support the company’s expansion into African markets. Dangote Cement said it would function as the central hub for its export strategy, linking the company’s operations in Nigeria with its plans to serve customers elsewhere on the continent.
The supplied information describes the Itori facility as 100 per cent export-oriented. It does not provide details of the plant’s production capacity, the countries it will supply, the value of the investment or the expected volume of cement exports. The announcement places the Ogun State plant within Dangote Cement’s broader effort to develop its African export business.
Beyond identifying Itori as the hub of that strategy, however, the available material gives no further details about its commissioning, operating timetable or logistics arrangements. Punch Nigeria reported the development under the headline “Itori plant drives Dangote Cement’s export expansion.”
