Legit.ng recently reported that Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has announced a $400 million expansion of the Mugher cement plant in Ethiopia, doubling its annual production capacity to 5 million tons.

The investment comes shortly after the completion of his multibillion-dollar refinery project in Nigeria.

Bloomberg reports that the Mugher plant, which began operations in 2015 with an initial capacity of 2.5 million tons per year, has faced challenges, including regional unrest that led to attacks on company property.

In 2018, an attack resulted in the deaths of the country manager and two employees. Despite these setbacks, Dangote remains committed to Ethiopia as a key market in his African cement empire.

Dangote Cement, which operates in 10 African countries, aims to achieve a total production capacity of 55 million tons annually across the continent. The latest expansion includes the construction of a new greenfield grinding unit near Addis Ababa, further boosting output, BusinessDay reports.

The company had previously invested $19 million in 2015 to establish a bagging plant at Mugher, now producing 120 million cement bags per year.

Recently, the group announced new job opportunities for qualified Nigerians to join its workforce in various departments.

The job openings cut across various departments within the Dangote Group, including Hcm/Admin, and Packing Plant. Other departments include IT-project, Power plant, Legal, and Supply chain and operations.
