Dangote rewards cement distributors with N15bn

Dangote Cement Plc has rewarded its top distributors and customers with prizes worth ₦15 billion in appreciation of their loyalty, resilience and strong performance across the country.

The celebration took place at the 2026 Distributors’ Awards Night held in Lagos, where the company honoured its highest-performing partners under the theme “Partner for Growth.” Winners went home with various rewards, including cash, containers of cement, luxury SUVs and CNG-powered trucks, all valued at ₦15 billion.

Speaking at the event, the President and Chief Executive of Dangote Industries Limited, Aliko Dangote, described the distributors as the backbone of the business.

He praised their commitment and hard work in ensuring that Dangote products get to communities across Nigeria, despite economic and operational challenges.

Dangote said the company’s growth and market leadership would not have been possible without the strong partnership and dedication of its distributors, stressing that their success remains closely tied to the success of the Dangote brand nationwide.

“Your tireless work in the field, your alluring commitment to our products and your direct engagement with our customers are what turn our vision and strategies into tangible results. Today’s celebration, themed ‘Partner for Growth,’ is a testament that our growth journey for 2026 has already begun,” He expressed.

Dangote used the occasion to reiterate the company’s Vision 2030 strategy, aimed at transforming Dangote Group into a $100 billion enterprise by 2030. The plan, he explained, focuses on industrial expansion, cross-border investments, and building Africa’s self-sufficiency in sectors such as energy, manufacturing, and infrastructure.

The African industrial titan disclosed that the Dangote Cement Group is targeting a cement production capacity expansion to approximately 90 million tonnes by 2030. He emphasised that the company’s ambition goes far beyond building factories. He explained that the focus is on building Africa’s capacity to feed itself, power its economy, develop its people, and drive sustainable industrialisation.

“Under this vision, we have announced the expansion of our petroleum refinery from 650,000 bpd to 1.4 million bpd, the fertiliser plant to 12 million metric tonnes per annum, and an increase in production at the polypropylene plant. Our cement company is also targeting a production capacity of approximately 90 million tonnes by 2030. And 90 million tons by 2030 means that we are 50 per cent more than the entire production of Saudi Arabia,” he said.

“Vision 2030, an integral aspect of our Africa First project, was borne out of my firm belief that Africa’s future will be built by Africans who refuse to accept limits – people who dream big, work hard, and never stop believing in what is possible.”
