• Celebrates distributors, partners
The President, Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, yesterday unveiled the Group’s Vision 2030, an ambitious plan aimed at building a $100 billion enterprise by 2030 through industrial expansion, consolidation and cross-border investments.
The Vision 2030 will see the conglomerate increase cement production capacity to about 90 million tonnes by 2030; expand the Dangote Refinery to 1.4 million barrels per day and scale up fertiliser production to 12 million metric tonnes annually.
Unveiling the vision at the Dangote Group’s 2025 Distributors Awards and Partners’ Night held at the Eko Hotels in Lagos, to recognise distributors and strategic partners for their contributions to the company’s growth, Aliko Dangote also announced major investments across Africa, including new fertiliser complexes, tank farms, pipelines, sugar backward integration projects and expanded energy infrastructure, aimed at boosting Africa’s self-sufficiency in critical sectors.
“Our ambition goes beyond building factories. It is about building Africa’s capacity to feed itself, power its economy and drive sustainable industrialisation,” he said, even as he reaffirmed the group’s commitment to investing in Nigeria’s economy, creating jobs and supporting government efforts to achieve a $1 trillion economy by 2030.
Dangote also highlighted the group’s social investments, including a multi-billion-dollar education fund to support vulnerable students across the country.
The event, which had as its theme: “Partner for Growth,” brought together distributors, customers, financial partners and other stakeholders to celebrate outstanding performance and reaffirm the company’s growth agenda.
Aliko also described distributors as the “heartbeat” of the organisation, noting that their commitment and resilience have translated the group’s vision into tangible results. He emphasised that growth is impossible without strong partnerships, acknowledging the support of Nigerian banks and financial institutions in driving the group’s expansion.
He said the 2025 awards ceremony, themed Partner for Growth, signalled the beginning of the group’s growth journey for 2026.
Also speaking at the event, the Chairman of Dangote Cement Plc, Emmanuel Ikazoboh, noted that strong partnerships remain critical to sustaining industrial growth in Nigeria and across Africa.
He commended distributors and partners for their dedication, describing them as a vital link between production facilities and end-users across Africa, insisting that the event was significant as it marked a renewed commitment to strengthening partnerships that drive shared prosperity.
According to him, Dangote Cement has maintained its leadership position in the cement industry due to the tireless efforts of its distributors and partners.
He said the company expanded its production capacity in 2025 to meet rising demand in Nigeria and other African markets, while continuing to uphold the highest global quality standards.
“We believe your growth is our growth. Growth is a shared responsibility and partnerships are key to achieving sustainable industrial development,” Ikazoboh said.
He noted that the company introduced new products, including 52.5 Blockmaster, 42.5R, 42.5N and Falcon cement, to meet the diverse needs of customers.
He also disclosed that Dangote Cement is investing in compressed natural gas (CNG) trucks to improve logistics efficiency, reduce costs and promote environmental sustainability.
As part of its sustainability drive, Ikazoboh said the company is embarking on the production of green cement and transitioning its fleet to alternative energy sources, including solar power and CNG, with plans to have all trucks powered by CNG by 2027.
