Ghana: CIMAF plant opens for business

Ghanaian president John Dramani Mahama has officially opened his country’s newest cement plant, a 1Mta grinding facility owned by CIMAF, according to a report in Ghana Business News.

The President – who is seeking to retain power in this month’s elections – called on the company to direct a substantial share of its profits to improving the socio-economic development of the country and the lives of its ordinary citizens.

Anas Sefrioui, president of the CIMAF Group, said the Tema plant could be producing as much as 5Mta of cement by 2050.
