The substantial revenue growth is attributed to increased dispatch volumes and strategic market expansion. BUA Cement achieved a 7.3% rise in dispatch volumes, delivering 6.7 million metric tons in 2023, up from 6.3 million metric tons in 2022. This expansion bolstered the company’s market share to 24%, an increase from 21% in the prior year.

Additionally, a net foreign exchange loss of ₦70 billion was recorded, with ₦52.5 billion attributed to finance costs related to the construction of new production lines.

In line with its expansion strategy, BUA Cement commissioned new 3 million metric tons per annum (mmtpa) lines at its Sokoto and Obu plants, increasing total production capacity to 17 mmtpa. The company also activated a 70MW gas power plant in Sokoto and plans to commission a similar facility in Obu in the first quarter of 2024. Furthermore, over 500 new trucks were procured to enhance distribution capabilities, reinforcing BUA Cement’s commitment to meeting Nigeria’s housing and infrastructure needs sustainably.

The company’s focus on leveraging domestic resources and reducing reliance on external power sources is expected to mitigate some of the economic pressures, supporting sustained profitability in the coming years.
