Nigeria: The government of Kogi State has filed a lawsuit against Dangote Cement's parent company Dangote Industries. The state government claims no payment was received for Dangote Cement's acquisition of the Obajana cement plant upon its privatisation in 2002, according to the Advocate newspaper. If the legal case is successful it could void the cement producer’s contract with the state government.
The National Security Council ordered the reopening of the Obajana cement plant in the national interest on 14 October 2022, following its closure by order of the Kogi State Assembly.
