Before we began manufacturing, Nigeria was one of the world’s biggest importers of cement. In 2012, our newly opened factories enabled Nigeria to become self-sufficient. In 2016, we transformed Nigeria into a net exporter of cement. Vision and Strength Our inspiration for the 2016 Dangote Cement Annual Report comes from the eagle - a large and graceful bird that soars across the skies of Africa with powerful wings and keen eyesight. Indeed, the eagle is the symbol of Dangote Cement, representing the qualities of vision, strength, tenacity and fearlessness - characteristics we believe are exhibited by our company. In the pages that follow, you will read about how we have performed so robustly in the face of the worst economic climate many of our markets have experienced in decades. Our strong performance in 2016 can be attributed to the vision we have long established for the company and the foresight of strategic decisions that were taken in the recent past. We have shown our resilience in the face of many different challenges across Africa and consolidated our position as the continent’s leading cement producer.
