Nigeria: Dangote Cement plc has commissioned a new 72,000 bag capacity cement depot in Idi-Iroko, Ogun State.
Regional director of Dangote Cement, Akin Adesokan, said that the firm would ensure constant supply of the product to ease transportation problems. "We will ensure that the depot is always stocked with cement,' said Adesokan, adding that the cement to be sold in the depot is 42.5 grade.
