BUA Group operates two cement plants in Nigeria and reportedly spent $500 million for a new cement plant in Nigeria’s Edo State that is expected to open in early 2015. Rabiu, the son of a businessman, set up his own business in 1988, importing rice, sugar and edible oils as well as iron and steel rods. |
