BUA Merges With Cement Company Of Northern Nigeria In ‘largest Deal Of 2018’ by ijustdey: 1:02pm On Jan 01, 2019

A federal high court sitting in Lagos has given its final approval to the scheme of merger between the Cement Company of Northern Nigeria and BUA Group’s Kalambaina Cement Company.

According to a statement by the group, this comes on the back of “overwhelming shareholder approval” as well as final approvals by the regulators – Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) and Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).

“With this development, the Nigerian Stock Exchange is expected to list the shares of the expanded entity in what has been described by the regulator as the largest deal of the year in Nigeria in 2018 at its recently held NSE CEO Awards,” BUA said.

Speaking on the development, Abdul Samad Rabiu, founder/executive chairman of BUA Group, praised the effort of all stakeholders in bringing the merger to fruition.

He said the expanded CCNN will remain the market leader in north-west Nigeria – the third largest market for cement in the country by consumption, whilst continuing to explore the huge opportunities that exist in the export markets of Niger, Burkina Faso and the West African region.

“Traditionally, the huge cost of transportation to CCNN’s home region from other cement plants in Nigeria – the nearest being about 900km away – has always given us a strategic advantage in that region over competing cement companies and brands,” he said.

“The expanded entity will leverage on the cost and energy efficiency of the newly commissioned Kalambaina Plant whilst providing additional value through its products in terms of better quality, higher yields and a stronger cement than competing premium cement brands.”

With the merger, the total installed capacity of the merged entity is expected to be two million metric tonnes per annum (MTPA).

The development will bring the total capacity of BUA’s cement operations to eight million MTPA as the group recently announced the completion of its three million MTP Obu II Cement Plant in Okpella Edo state.

Lol Dagote that is building the largest refinery in Africa? He is moving away from cement to dominating the petroleum industry. Once the refinery is completed only Lagos alone can give him more than he have ever made with cement, Not to talk of the whole country.

Yet the so-called federal government of Nigeria (shithole) killed the cement venture of one Igbo man named Ibeto. I do not want any fool from Nigeria to lecture me about unity in Nigeria.

What really concerns a law court regarding M&A when a case was not brought to her attention?

Obasanjo a fellow Southerner and PDP chieftain gave license to Dangote only to import cement The government changed and Yar'Adua became President. Ibeto went ahead and imported unbagged cement. Dangote took Ibeto to Court but Yar'Adua said that no matter what the court says, anybody should be able to do business without intimidation and that Ibeto is free to go on with his cement business. However, later Goatluck Jonathan became President and once again helped Dangote to fraaustrate Ibeto Please note that not everyone is stupid and senseless like you IPOB miscreants

Obasanjo endorsed Buhari... Same Buhari that took 6 months to appoint politicians as ministers...same politicians that have made no tangible mark in the lives of the masses.

Which is why I'm surprised. In all M&A transaction I've read, I've not seen where a court's opinion was sought unless there is a dispute (which will be settled before the transaction). It must be a Nigerian law.

There does not need to be any dispute. The FHC has jurisdiction over M&A transactions. Court orders must be obtained for intermediate and large transactions
1. prior (for each party’s shareholder to meet on the proposed merger) and
2. after approval by the SEC (to sanction -in principle give legal backing - to the M&A and all the transfer of shares/assets).

But for small M&As - only the second stage highlighted above is needed.

See e.g screenshot below from Monday:

The Almajiri need education (both formal and skill acquisition type) first before they can be gainfully employed.
