Rwanda’s sole cement producer, Cimerwa, is nearing completion of its expansion project and is on track to be ready in the first quarter of next year.

Busi Legodi, chief executive officer of the cement producer, told AllAfrica News that 94 per cent of works have already been completed, with electrical installations and minimal mechanical works remaining.

Legodi added that the plant should be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2015, lifting capacity from the current 100,000tpa to 600,000tpa.
