Dangote To Begin Coal Mining In November by slikyslimsly: 12:59pm On Sep 11, 2016 |
The Dangote Cement Plc, a subsidiary of the Dangote Group, discloses its plan to start mining coal at Ankpa, Kogi State, in November. The company said that due to acute gas shortage in the country, following disruptions of supply by militants in the Niger Delta region, it had switched its plant lines to coal to minimise cost. The Chief Executive Officer of the Dangote Cement, Onne, van der Weijde, said that disruption to the gas supply had deteriorated, adding: “These are challenging times for Nigeria and Dangote Cement but we are taking strong actions that will position the company for continuing success. Our coal mining initiative will benefit both the company and the Nigerian economy by reducing the need for foreign exchange and helping us to both protect existing jobs and create new ones. “Although we have indicated a more measured approach to our expansion across Africa, we have new operations opening soon in Congo and Sierra Leone and these will strengthen the company’s profitability and generate additional foreign currency earnings. Despite the challenges we are facing, we continue to focus on becoming a global force in cement production.” The company said devaluation of the naira had increased costs in its largest market-cement, forcing the company to jerk the ex-factory price of the product by N600 per bag. The company said that many of its production lines were now capable of running entirely on coal, hoping that this development would eliminate the company’s dependence on gas supplies, imported coal and, more significantly, LPFO. source: http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/business/dangote-to-begin-coal-mining-in-november/161953.html#google_vignette 11 Likes 1 Share |

Bubewilson:What is important and necessary to one person/country is not necessarily same for the other. Those abandoning fossil fuel now had maximized the benefits from it in the past. IMHO, no developing/underdeveloped country should pledge to such talk on global warming yet. Not until they also have maximized their benefits from those energy sources. 25 Likes 1 Share |

thesicilian: Unfortunately he will never smell it. The world's richest men are men who invented several technologies and touched lives of millions around the globe through their intellectual project. Dangote has several cement plants, refineries, sugar, e.t.c but he's still not close to mark Zuckerberg who is number 6 in the world. Mark is 3 times richer than the bloody capitalist dangote who was helped to his present state by several government patronage and waivers. I am not impressed with his networth 18 Likes 2 Shares |
