Dangote Cement Plc has entered into a significant agreement with Sinoma International Engineering, signing a $1 billion deal for the construction of 12 new cement plants and the expansion of existing plants throughout Africa. The announcement was made by MarketForces Africa following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in Lagos on Friday, February 28, 2026.
Aliko Dangote, President and CEO of Dangote Industries Limited, emphasized the importance of these projects in achieving a production capacity of 80 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) by 2030. He noted that this expansion is in line with the Group’s Vision 2030 agenda, which aims for $100 billion in revenue.
The collaboration with Sinoma will encompass new integrated plants, brownfield expansions, and modernization initiatives designed to improve operational performance across key markets. The projects span multiple countries and involve both the establishment of new integrated production lines and the expansion of existing facilities.
These expansions are geared towards increasing installed capacity, optimizing assets, and enhancing operational efficiency within Dangote Cement’s African operations. The company expects these projects to solidify its market leadership and contribute to broader infrastructure development on the continent.
Dangote Cement has also focused on strengthening its energy security through Gas Sales and Purchase Agreements (GSPA) with subsidiaries of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited. These agreements are intended to ensure a stable gas supply to support increased production and the adoption of cleaner fuels like Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Autogas.
The company continues to implement modern technologies across its integrated plants, grinding facilities, and distribution hubs to enhance efficiency and reliability.
