He noted that the new plant is the fifth commissioned
by the company across Africa in the last two years. He stated: “The Dangote
Cement Plant that we are commissioning today, is the largest cement plant
Congo-Brazzaville in terms of installed production capacity. With the
commissioning of the plant, we become also the largest integrated cement
producer in the CEMAC region comprising Cameroon, Chad, Central African
Republic (CAR), Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and now, the Republic of the Congo.
“It is our hope that our plant will help to reduce and eventually replace
cement imports into Congo-Brazzaville and these other countries.
More
importantly, it is also our hope that this project we are commissioning today,
will further cement the existing cordial ties between our two countries—the
Republic of the Congo and Nigeria. “As we all know, cement is one of the basic
inputs in infrastructure development. For Africa, a continent, which faces
severe infrastructural deficits, the need for local self-sufficiency in cement
production cannot be over-emphasised.”
