BUA Group is set to commission its 1.5Mta Kalambaina plant on Tuesday, 12 July. At a cost of US$350 million, it will be the largest single private sector-led investment in northwest Nigeria. The facility features a high-capacity coal mill and a multi-fuel plant.
The plant is expected to generate 2000 jobs and improve the country’s exchange with Niger and Benin, according to the Daily Trust. It will also increase the company’s total Nigerian capacity to 6Mta, which is 35 per cent of the total volume of cement produced in the country.
