Alhaji Aliko Dangote has revealed that the Dangote Cement Plant in Itori, Ogun State, was demolished twice under former Governor Ibikunle Amosun’s administration, causing significant setbacks to the project.
Speaking after a meeting with Governor Dapo Abiodun, Dangote stated that the repeated demolitions disrupted progress and deterred investment in the state. However, he credited Governor Abiodun’s intervention and pro-business policies for restoring investor confidence, enabling the revival of the cement plant.
The Itori Cement Plant, now back on track, is set to become Dangote Cement’s fourth greenfield project in Nigeria. It is expected to boost local production, generate employment, and further solidify Ogun State’s position as a leading industrial hub.
