Group Managing Director of the company, Devakumar Edwin, told newsmen in Lagos that Dangote Cement Plc had commenced the production of the cement grade from all of its three plants in Ibese, Ogun State; Gboko in Benue State and Obajana in Kogi State.
The cement company said it had scored another first as the 52.5 grade of cement is being produced in Africa for the first time, thus attesting to the resolve of the Dangote Cement to be a leading international producer of cement.
Basking in the euphoria of the new feat, Edwin disclosed that the new cement grade, which had been certified by the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), as conforming to the requirements of NIS 444-2003 and other relevant standards, would sell for the same price as the lower grade 42.5N type.
Giving reasons for this, Edwin said though it costs more to produce the 52.5 grade, Dangote Cement decided to sell at the same price in the interest of its customers and to make it affordable to all.
