Dangote Group has invested $160 million to open a new cement plant in Attingué, about 30 kilometers from Abidjan. The facility brings modern cement production technology to Ivory Coast and is expected to create more than 1,000 local jobs. The move aims to cut import dependence and boost local industrial capacity. It also reflects growing investor confidence in West Africa’s expanding economy. The new plant adds to
Dangote’s network of factories across the continent, showing a strong commitment to African manufacturing. Analysts say its success will depend on efficient operations and market demand. Still, the investment marks real progress toward long-term industrial growth. It’s a clear example of how African capital is helping build Africa’s own infrastructure.
