    NEW AFRICA BUSINESS NEWS (NABN) Accra, Ghana- President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, said despite the challenging, economic situation in 2019, Dangote Cement was able to sustain 54,000 jobs in four African countries, where the company has its operations. The countries are Nigeria, Ethiopia, Senegal and South Africa.

    The business mogul who disclosed this to shareholders at the company’s 11th Annual General Meeting in Lagos said that more jobs would be created as the company intensifies the export of clinker to other neighboring countries.

    Dangote told the shareholders that the year 2019 was a strong year given the tough business environment across most of its operating geographic, disclosing that the group recorded volumes of 23.7 million metric tons and revenues of 891.7 billion. He said, “We recorded a strong EBITDA margin of 44.3 percent. As a result of this performance, the board has recommended for your approval a dividend of 16.00 per ordinary 50 kobo share.”

    Speaking on the local operations, he said, “Nigeria’s cement market grew slightly in 2019. We estimate that total market consumption was up between 2 percent to 3 percent on the 20.7Mt estimated in 2018.”

    Dangote explained that the modest performance was in spite of the fact that the market generally was impacted negatively by the disruptions related to the 2019 election cycles, heavy rains and the loss in land export volumes due to the border closure.

    “Dangote Cement’s Nigeria operations remained at 14.1Mt in 2019, including export sales of 0.45Mt. Domestic sales in Nigeria were nearly 13.7Mt, compared to 13.4Mt in 2019. This implies a 2 percent growth mirroring the estimated GDP growth for the year. However, land exports reduced to 0.45Mt from 0.7Mt for the full year owing to the border closure in the last few months of 2019.

    “The Bag of Goodies promotion, launched in July, drove strong increases in our Nigerian volumes in the third quarter”, Dangote pointed out, adding that the innovative marketing effort enabled the company to maintain its market share despite the 4.5Mt new capacity which came into the market during the year.”

    He alluded to the new feat by Dangote Cement in commencing export of clinker via shipping from the Apapa and Onne ports to West and Central Africa, adding that the management was encouraged by the performance of its offshore operations.
