Nigeria: BUA Cement’s Sokoto cement plant has resumed operations following a fire that killed three workers. The Sun newspaper has reported that the fire began at a diesel storage tank depot near to the plant, where third-party contract workers were welding a diesel storage tank. The group said that it activated a swift response in order to prevent any escalation of the incident.

UK: Cemex has agreed a new partnership with Turners, a privately owned transport company. This contract will see Turners operating 20 bulk cement tankers for Cemex across the country. No value for the deal has been disclosed.

“We are always looking for ways to improve our logistics operation, and this partnership with Turners will create new flexibility in our service, thanks to their large fleet of safe and efficient heavy goods vehicles (HGV),” said David Hart, Cemex’s Supply Chain Director for UK & France.
