The Dangote Group has launched Vision 2030 strategy, which is aimed at positioning the conglomerate as a $100 billion enterprise by the end of the decade through industrial expansion and cross-border investments.
Under the vision, the group is targeting a cement production capacity of approximately 90 million tonnes by 2030; expand its petroleum refinery from 650,000 barrels per day to 1.4 million barrels per day , and expanding its fertiliser plant from three million to 12 million metric tonnes per annum, while the polypropylene plant is being scaled up from 900,000 tonnes to 2.4 million tonnes per annum.
Aliko Dangote, the President of the companies, made this known during a N15 billion rewards ceremony for the cement distributors.
At the event , CNG-powered trucks, SUVs and other items were presented to distributors across various performance categories, including regional awards, growth awards, best distributor in export sales and national awards.
Dangote said that the cement expansion drive forms part of the group’s newly launched Vision 2030 strategy, which is aimed at positioning the conglomerate as a $100 billion enterprise by the end of the decade through industrial expansion and cross-border investments.
“Under this vision, we have actually signed an agreement. But before even signing the agreement, the target that we have, our cement company, will end up being at 90 million tons by 2030.
And 90 million tons by 2030 means that we are 50 percent more than the entire production of Saudi Arabia,”said Dangote .
Dangote further disclosed that the group is expanding its fertiliser plant from three million to 12 million metric tonnes per annum, while the polypropylene plant is being scaled up from 900,000 tonnes to 2.4 million tonnes per annum.
He also announced new projects across Africa, including a fertiliser complex in Ethiopia, tank farms in Namibia and pipeline infrastructure to support refined product distribution.
“Our ambitions go beyond building factories. It is about building Africa’s capacity to feed itself, power its economy, develop its people, and drive sustainable industrialisation,” Dangote said.
Chairman of the Board of Directors, Dangote Cement Plc, Emmanuel Ikazoboh, said the company is strengthening its supply chain and distribution network to support higher volumes and improve delivery efficiency across Nigeria and other African markets.
