Dangote Cement Plc has called on the Nigerian government to use cement concrete in road construction which is in line with global best practice.
Speaking at the Abuja Housing Fair, Training Manager of the Obajana Plant Haruna Adinoyi said Nigeria will benefit more by using concrete.
“Concrete roads may be about 15 to 20 percent more expensive than asphalt road but in the long run, in terms of durability, it is better because the maintenance cost is near zero.”
He urged government to give serious thought to the use of cement for the construction of roads in the country.
