The President of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, has said his conglomerate is planning to build a $600 million cement plant in Kenya.
He spoke at the weekend during the visit of the Kenyan Deputy Prime Minister, William Ruto, to Dangote Cement Obajana Plant in Kogi State.
Dangote said the three million metric tons factory might start operation soon because preparatory arrangements had begun.
He expressed satisfaction about the level of support and partnership from the Kenyan government.
