Dangote Cement has revealed that they have registered two companies in Kenya with plans to build two plants of 1.5Mta each, near Nairobi and Mombasa, to serve the local market.

The company, which is majority owned by Africa’s richest man notes that Kenya is an exciting market and that the country is high on its priorities.

They now hope the two plants will be operational by 2019/2020. The two companies will separately deal with Limestone mining and the other cement production.

Currently, the company exports cement from Ethiopia to Kenya and other neighbouring countries such as Somalia and South Sudan, despite the distances involved.
