BUA Cement Completes Okpella Plant As Total Capacity Hits 8 Million Mta by postbox: 6:43am On Nov 13, 2018
Installed capacity hits 8million MTPA; Partners SON & ITF to train blockmakers across Nigeria

Less than 6 months after commissioning its 1.5million mtpa Kalambaina Cement Plant in Sokoto state, BUA Cement has announced that it has completed construction of its newest Cement Factory – The 3million MTPA Obu II Cement plant, Okpella in Edo State, Nigeria. This will bring the total capacity of BUA Obu cement operations to 6million tonnes and move the entire Group’s installed capacity to 8million MTPA. A date for commissioning is to be announced soon according to the statement from BUA Group.

Speaking at a business forum recently, Abdul Samad Rabiu, Founder & Executive Chairman of BUA Group – owners of BUA Cement, said that the completion of BUA’s Obu Cement 2nd line puts BUA Cement in prime position to be Nigeria’s second largest cement producers by volume in a short while. According to Abdul Samad Rabiu, “Through a strategic combination of BUA Cement’s newer, more energy efficient plants and the proximity of our factory locations to key regional markets across Nigeria, BUA Cement has in no time become the industry leader in capacity utilization as well as maintaining a strong presence and brand leadership position in regional markets where it operates.

“The nature of the formulation of BUA Cement’s products and the product strength has seen it dubbed, “King of Strength” by blockmakers as well as others in the construction industry in Nigeria”, he added. In addition, BUA Cement has also entered into a partnership with the Standards Organisation of Nigeria and Industrial Training Fund to train thousands of blockmakers across Nigeria on the proper mix and techniques for blockmaking to reduce the rates of building collapse in Nigeria.

The completion of the new 3million mtpa BUA Obu II Cement Plant will see BUA’s installed capacity to rise to 8million metric tons by the time it fully becomes operational in December 2018. The plant has the capacity to run on multi-fuels – gas and heavy oils and will give BUA Cement a stronger foothold in the South-South and South East markets in Nigeria where it has become the preferred brand of cement. By virtue of its location in Okpella, Edo State, BUA Obu Cement plants are 5hours away from all the major markets across Nigeria.

BUA Group announced last year that it built a 50km pipeline to carry gas to fire its gas turbines at its Obu Cement Plant.

This is good.
Hope it's feedstock in okpella won't be exhausted and create conflicts with neighbouring communities that own much of the limestone needed for production. Do know that only Ososo and Okene have these limestone in commercial quantities.

cement will still not be cheap. it's made in Nigeria but prices is still high. I think there is a cabal who controls the price of cement and not based on cost of production.
