Dangote Cement Plc, Nigeria’s largest company and Africa’s biggest producer of the building material, said it plans to begin operations in three countries this year as part of a longer-term expansion across the continent.
Dangote Cement plans “to start operations in Sierra Leone, Cameroon and Zambia in 2014,” Chief Executive Officer Devakumar Edwin said today on an investor conference call from Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital. Business in South Sudan is on hold because of military conflict in that nation, he said.
