Nigeria: President Muhammadu Buhari inaugurated BUA Group’s new 3.0Mt/yr Line 4 at its Sokoto plant in northern Nigeria on 27 January 2022. The plant is the largest private sector employer of labour in the north-western part of Nigeria.

At the inauguration, the President expressed delight that the Federal Government policies on economic diversification, job creation and creating an enabling environment for businesses to thrive were working. He pledged to continue his administration’s support for ‘serious investors’ to set up businesses that will take advantage of huge reserves of resources in different parts of the country.

The President thanked the Founder of BUA Cement, Abdul Samad Rabiu and the BUA team for the ‘great work they are doing’ in supporting the government's economic diversification and job creation agenda.

Speaking personally, President Buhari added that, as the head of Sokoto State in 1985, he had also inaugurated Line 2 at the same plant, saying, "Today, almost 37 years later, to commission the fourth line is a very special day for me personally. As you all know, one of the key economic pillars of our administration has been to create an enabling environment for businesses to thrive. This is necessary for job creation and indeed, for our economy and national security.”
