Nigeria’ s cement industry remains one of the nation’ s most vibrant sectors, meeting the immense demand driven by the country’ s expanding infrastructure and construction needs. Among the top players, Dangote Cement leads as one of the most recognized brands, owned by Aliko Dangote, Africa’ s wealthiest man. Known for its quality and reliability, Dangote Cement operates three major manufacturing plants in Nigeria and sets a high standard in the market. As of November 10, 2024, the price for a 50kg bag of Dangote Cement varies between 7, 500 and 8, 000 Naira, positioning it as a premium option for both small- scale and large infrastructure projects. Buyers looking to purchase in bulk benefit from wholesale discounts, with prices ranging from NGN 6, 900 to NGN 7, 000 per bag when purchasing a trailer load (600 bags).
BUA Cement is another significant force in Nigeria’ s cement landscape. A subsidiary of the BUA Group, this brand began its journey in 2009 and quickly grew its operations. With production facilities in Sokoto and Edo states, BUA Cement’ s combined capacity reaches around 8 million metric tonnes per year. Widely used in both residential and large- scale construction, BUA Cement’ s quality and consistency have made it a go- to choice for contractors. Its price per 50kg bag, as of today, stands at approximately 7, 500 Naira, while wholesale purchases see slight reductions in cost. Known particularly for its suitability in block molding and structural work, BUA has become highly preferred among builders looking for quality at a competitive price.
Lafarge Africa Plc, operating as Lafarge Cement in Nigeria, has firmly established itself in the southwestern region of the country. This brand has built a reputation on a broad range of products that cater to diverse construction needs, from residential projects to large industrial undertakings. The price of a 50kg bag of Lafarge Cement is currently between 7, 400 and 7, 600 Naira, offering an affordable option without compromising on quality. Lafarge’ s commitment to affordability has solidified its position in the market, especially among builders and contractors within its primary operating region.
Beyond conventional brands, specialty cements such as POP (Plaster of Paris) cement and white cement are widely available in Nigeria. POP cement, used primarily in interior design and ceiling finishes, adds a unique touch to residential and commercial spaces. Priced between 8, 000 and 9, 000 Naira per 40kg bag, POP cement is popular among customers aiming for a refined aesthetic in their projects. White cement, which differs from gray cement in its pure color and waterproof qualities, is valued for its decorative use in both interiors and exteriors. Although it is significantly more expensive, costing around 3, 000 to 3, 500 Naira for a 5kg bag, its aesthetic appeal makes it highly sought after for architectural projects that prioritize visual impact.
The diversity and quality of options within Nigeria’ s cement industry demonstrate its capacity to support the nation’ s growth. With brands like Dangote, BUA, and Lafarge setting the benchmark, and specialty cements offering solutions for unique projects, the industry remains a cornerstone of Nigeria’ s building and construction sector.
