Nigeria’s cement manufacturing capacity is
soon forecast to reach 58.5 million metric

can become a cement export nation through
improving cement strength and durability,
and the sustainability of structures.
A supporting program will be introduced

Nigeria has a robust portfolio of
infrastructure projects with a total value
of almost $100 billion. The two conference

the user of heavy equipment as well as for
manufacturers, distributors and agents.
