Technocrats from Dangote Industries Limited, led by the group’s chief strategist, Dr Abdu Mukhtar fly into Zimbabwe on Thursday to choose a site, from the many proposed by Government, where the company will set up a cement manufacturing plant and associated quarries and mines.
Also to be concluded during the delegation’s visit are details of some of the company’s investments in Zimbabwe.
The company is owned by Africa’s richest man, Mr Aliko Dangote who has a net worth of over $18 billion, according to Forbes Magazine.
Sources close to the developments yesterday said the delegation included geologists who “were now coming to Zimbabwe for a long time” to quicken the setting up of the cement plant and the quarries and mines for its raw materials.
