Chief Executive Officer, of Dangote Cement, Arvind Pathak, in his comments on the results, said : “Driven by an uptick in economic activities, our Nigerian operations witnessed a strong rebound, with volumes up 26.1 per cent to 4.6Mt in the quarter.

“Similarly, our pan-Africa operations continued an upward trajectory, with volumes up 3.1 per cent to 2.7Mt, buoyed by increased sales in Zambia and Congo.

“Despite elevated cost pressures, increased borrowing costs, and a further currency weakening, our first-quarter results reflect our commitment to navigating challenges effectively.”

He added : “Group revenue more than doubled to ₦817.4 billion, while Group EBITDA rose 66.6 per cent to ₦309.5 billion.

“Profit After Tax was up 2.9 per cent at ₦112.7 billion. These results underscore our ability to adapt and thrive in a dynamic business environment while delivering value to our stakeholders.

” During the quarter, we intensified our emphasis on exports, dispatching 7 ships from Nigeria to Ghana and Cameroon.

“As a result, our Nigerian exports surged by 87.2 per cent, reflecting our commitment to expanding our presence in regional markets and capitalising on our export-to-import strategy.

” We continue to prioritise innovation, cleaner energy transition, and cost leadership towards achieving our vision of transforming Africa and building a sustainable future.”
