As part of efforts to end cases of building collapse in the country, Dangote Cement has come out with Dangote BlocMaster Cement.

According to the group managing director, Joe Makoju, the 42.5R cement grade innovation will also translate into more income for block-makers and in the long run for the country.

Speaking at the official launch of the product in Lagos, Makoju asserted that BlocMaster, which is an improvement on the company’s three cement brands, “is the best” for block-making and concrete application.


Describing it as affordable and good for Nigerians because of its rapid setting, especially during the rainy season, he said that the new brand was a product of years of deep research, testing and experimentation, adding that it had been tested and approved by builders nationwide.

“With a block-making motif to resonate key targets, the product guarantees better value for money as it can produce over 32 blocks per bag, achieve up to 50 megapascal after 28 days and get 50 per cent stronger a day after use,” he said.

While commending Lagos distributors as major determinants of its sales nationwide, the GMD disclosed that the product, a combination of good price and quality, was designed to salvage the building and construction challenges in the country.

Group chief marketing officer of the company, Oare Ojeikere, described the new cement as multi-purpose and strong, urging Nigerians to adopt it for all construction purposes, considering the attestations of hundreds of builders who had used it before the launch.

National president of Block Moulders Association of Nigeria (BMAN), Rasheed Adebowale, appreciating the peculiarity of the product, said he could produce as much as 35 blocks with a bag of the cement, while still maintaining standard requirements.

Oga Sell your cement and forget all these tricks.

Building will still collapse as long as we continue to use cheap labour masons and call them Engineers.

Once you can peg, wear helmet and boot....you are a building engineer.

Afonja building contractors will still use one bag of the said cement for 67 parts of sand.

The era of collapsed buildings in Nigeria is not going away anytime soon.

Building collapse occurs mostly in Lagos.

Good product

Dangote! Make una reduce the price too.



This'll give greedy builders reason to increase their aggregate per bag and thereby weakening the said strong cement.

This Dangote guy has introduced this 42.5 since time immemorial. The noise about it now is what I don't understand.

Cement sells for less than #1500 in other countries but Dangote will be wicked to Nigerians by selling above #2500.

That guy will kill Nigerians when his refinery finally starts work.

He's a fucking greedy wicked businessman that I never wish to emulate.

Such a wicked soul as a fellow country man.

Dangote will rule us someday

We hear am,building collapse is not basically down to cement or blocks so make una just advertise una market comot mah see 2019 elections abeg

Do you know the other costs he has to incur due to the harsh business environment in Nigeria?

there is NO way things abroad can be more expensive than what is produced in Nigeria

you have power issues to tackle, locals in the community extorting you, the govt taxing you, high cost of credit facilities (over 20% as compared to single digit elsewhere )
And the list is endless

After facing all these, it's not feasible to sell cement the same price as the one made in other countries na

that's just the truth


Nigerians shoukd just stop hating on this man.

Those who don't want their buildings to last will keep using low quality materials.

Babalawo spotted.. Instant cure!

Avoid MOVINGBET like a PLAGUE! Those behind the vitual name MOVINGBET are SCAMMERS! This WARNING is 100% true!

If only you know that your explanation has made a case for why we should be importing cement.

When something made in Nigeria costs almost twice what it does elsewhere and that thing is a staple needed by everybody then there is no sense in continuing to manufacture it.

No businessman in Nigerian history has gotten the type of benefits Dangote has. Tax breaks, govt supported monopoly, part of the Apapa Wharf is ceded to Dangote etc.

So if he cannot use these advantages coupled with technology to give us cheap cement...he should close down and allow importation.
