Dangote Cement To Build Three Coal Power Plants

Dangote Group is to establish three coal fired power plants, one each for its cement plants in Obajana, Kogi State,  Ibese in Ogun State  and Gboko, in Benue State. The Managing Director, Dangote Cement, Devacumar Edwin,  who spoke yesterday in Lagos, said the Group is investing S250million to build the power plants, adding that the first consignment of coal has already been imported from South Africa.

He said the decision to refocus and address the power situation in this manner, was informed by the worsening situation of power supply, occasioned by continuous drop in gas supply to power generating stations.
