The step is the second major divestment in less than two years after Lafarge Africa’s US$316m sale of its South African subsidiary in July 2019. Proceeds of this deal went to settling Lafarge Africa’s debt to Caricement BV in a debt-to-equity swap, improving the company’s balance sheet as well as its position to face the future, according to Khaled El Dokani, Country CEO of Lafarge Africa Plc Nigeria.
