BUA Cement Sokoto

The BUA Cement plant in Sokoto, historically known as the Cement Company of Northern Nigeria (CCNN), is a cornerstone of industrial activity in North-Western Nigeria. Since coming under the ownership of BUA Group, the facility has undergone a massive expansion, most notably with the launch of the Kalambaina plant in 2018. The factory utilizes the region's abundant limestone and gypsum deposits to produce high-strength cement suitable for diverse construction needs. With the commissioning of additional lines, its combined capacity has surged, making it a major exporter to landlocked neighbors like Niger. The plant is distinguished by its use of advanced, energy-efficient technology and its multi-fuel power plant that ensures operational independence. BUA Cement's aggressive growth strategy in Sokoto has significantly altered the market dynamics in Nigeria's cement industry. As the largest industrial employer in Sokoto State, it plays a pivotal role in poverty alleviation and regional economic integration through job creation and supply chain development.
