President Brice Oligui Nguema of Gabon invited Aliko Dangote, President and CEO of Dangote Industries, to invest in Gabon’s cement sector during a visit to the country. Discussions centred on potential cement plant investments to bolster Gabon’s infrastructure development. President Nguema noted that the collaboration with Dangote Industries would bring significant benefits, including job creation, technology transfer and enhanced industrial capacity. This potential investment aims to strengthen economic ties between Nigeria and Gabon and enhance Gabon’s industrial capacity, with further discussions planned in the coming months to finalise the investment strategy.
Dangote said “We are excited about the opportunity to invest in Gabon. Our goal is to contribute to the country’s economic diversification and industrialisation efforts. By leveraging our expertise in cement production, we aim to support Gabon’s infrastructure sector.”
