BUA Cement, Dangote’s Biggest Rival, Eyes Additional 3 Million Tonnes in Expansion Push
BUA Cement, Nigeria’s second-largest producer of the building material after Dangote, is looking to expand its production capacity by 3 million tonnes, according to its founder Abdul Samad Rabiu.
Rabiu announced the move on Tuesday in a post on social media platform X, saying he discussed the potential addition of a new 3-million-tonne cement production line in Sokoto with Zhang Sicai, chairman of CBMI Construction Ltd. (SINOMA China), and his team during their visit to BUA’s Dubai office.
He said they also reflected on the close partnership with CBMI that has lasted for over 15 years.
“They have been a trusted collaborator, delivering 14 million tons of cement production lines and helping us grow together. This next expansion would bring our total annual cement production capacity to 20 million tons — another milestone in our shared journey of success,” Rabiu said.
