Dangote Cement has launched a new $160 million plant in Attingué, Côte d’Ivoire, marking the conglomerate’s 11th cement production site in Africa. Spanning 50 hectares, the facility can produce up to 3 million tons of cement annually, strengthening Côte d’Ivoire’s infrastructure and construction capacity amid rapid urbanization. The plant is expected to generate over 1,000 direct and indirect jobs and support local SMEs through partnerships, training, and credit schemes. Dangote Cement CEO Gbotta described the project as a symbol of confidence in Côte d’Ivoire’s future, while Chairman Aliko Dangote reaffirmed the group’s vision of Africa as a continent that “produces, innovates, and builds for its children.”
