Dangote begins construction of concrete roads in states

Dangote Industries Limited has said that it will begin the onstruction of concrete roads in various states across the country, especially in Lagos, Bauchi, Kogi, Kaduna and Ogun states.

The company says, “We are very happy at the moment. We can categorically state that we are in more than five states across the country already constructing roads. The reception has been wonderful. State governments are beginning to see the need to embrace concrete roads and we are very happy at the way things are currently going”.

Recently, the Chairman, Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, called on the Federal Government to consider the use of concrete in road construction in the country.

He said this would be to the benefit of Nigerians if the Federal Government embraced the option of using concrete for roads constructions in the country, adding that aside from being cheap, concrete roads were more durable, with near zero maintenance cost.

“We are pushing for Nigeria to do concrete roads. It is cheaper to do a concrete road that will last 50 years than to do a bitumen road. It will also help in eliminating corruption because if you go and build a bitumen road, it will have to be adequately maintained unlike a concrete road that is very durable,” Dangote affirmed.
