Dangote launches Blocmaster Cement

Dangote has unveiled its new BlocMaster Cement, describing it as extra strong and ideal for block moulding in Nigeria. According to Joe Makoju, group managing director at Dangote Cement, the new product is the result of years of deep research, adding that it had been tested and approved by builders throughout Nigeria. Strong and affordable, BlocMaster is also rapid setting making it particularly useful during the rainy season. “This is a new era. This is a new quality. This is a product of research,” said Mr Makoju at the BlocMaster launch in Kano, Kano State, this week.

As a multipurpose cement, BlocMaster is reportedly suitable for all construction purposes and Dangote hopes it will help address the issue of building collapse in Nigeria. Also speaking at the launch, Kano Nura Musa Yahayah, manager at Magina Blocks Industries, said, “I can recommend this product, I have personally used it and I am very convinced that it is the best for those of us who are in the business of cement moulding. It is strong and sets very fast. This is the product that we need at this time and we are grateful to the management of Dangote Cement for giving us this product.”
