What you need to know about BUA Group

BUA Group is one of Nigeria’s leading diversified conglomerates, operating across multiple key sectors and significantly contributing to the country’s economy and employment.

The Group has made notable strides in the sugar industry, acquiring Lafiagi Sugar Company in Kwara State and establishing the Bassa Sugar Company in Kogi State, supported by a vast landholding of about 70,000 hectares for sugar plantations.

Its advanced sugar refineries in Lagos and Port Harcourt have a combined refining capacity of 1.5 million metric tonnes, making BUA a pioneer in sugar refining beyond Lagos.

In flour milling and pasta processing, BUA IRS Flour operates a modern plant in Port Harcourt to meet the growing domestic demand for wheat-based products, despite Nigeria’s heavy reliance on imported wheat.

In oil milling, the Group manages Nigeria Oil Mills and BUA Oil Mills, producing premium palm and seed oils alongside animal feed and soap.

BUA is also a major player in rice production with a 10,000-hectare rice plantation and milling facility in Kano, supporting around 100,000 farmers via an out-growers scheme. The rice mill, currently with a 200,000-tonne capacity, is being expanded to 1 million tonnes annually.

In cement manufacturing, BUA Cement runs three plants with a combined 8 million metric tonnes annual capacity, making it the second largest cement producer nationally.

Other sectors include ports and terminals management, iron and steel production with a planned integrated steel plant in Kogi State, and real estate development with projects in Abuja and Lagos.

Through its subsidiaries, BUA Group continues to expand its footprint and foster industrial growth across Nigeria.
