Cement manufacturers target 17 metric tonnes output

The Cement
Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (CMAN) says estimated supply of 17
million metric tonnes of local production of cement is achievable in
2011.

The executive
secretary of CMAN, James Salako, said in Lagos that this was part of
the manufacturers’ efforts to guarantee self sufficiency in the local
demand of cement.

He said that new
cement plants with combined capacity of 14 million metric tonnes were
currently under construction, adding that they were expected to come on
the stream at different periods of the year.

“This year, we expect all the new facilities presently under construction to come on stream,” he said.
