Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Nigerian multinational industrial conglomerate, Dangote Group, has said it is a possibility for the company to establish a cement manufacturing plant in Zimbabwe, in the near future.<\/p>\n

When that happens, the plant will be its 11th across Africa as it expands its footprint on the continent.<\/p>\n

Owned by Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote, the company first expressed interest to invest in Zimbabwe in 2015 when he last visited the country.<\/p>\n

During that time, it was said the company was interested in building a US$400 million cement plant, but the plan did not come to fruition, a development largely blamed on bureaucracy prevalent under the previous government.<\/p>\n

During his visit then, Dangote also expressed interest in investing in power generation and coal mining.<\/p>\n

Dangote Group executive director, Engineer Mansur Ahmed, who is in the country for the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) told New Ziana:<\/p>\n

Today our flagship business, the Dangote cement business has footprint in about 14 African countries, with actual investment in cement plants in 10 of these.<\/p>\n

It is my hope that perhaps not in the too distant future Zimbabwe will be the eleventh.<\/p>\n

Dangote cement is Sub-Saharan Africa\u2019s largest cement company with a production capacity of 48.6 million tons a year across 10 countries.<\/p>\n

The company has cement plants in Nigeria, Zambia, Tanzania, South Africa, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Ghana, Senegal, and Cameroon.<\/p>\n

Dangote Group is invested in steel, agriculture, transportation, infrastructure, oil and gas among other sectors.<\/p>\n
