Abdul Samad Rabiu who described the revenue increase as the highest in the company’s history said improved Cement prices and efficient cost management were
factors that led to the achievement. Rabiu then assured stakeholders of sustenance in the figure and dominance in the home market and also penetration into some key strategic markets.
According to Rabiu, “Low Pour Fuel Oil
(LPFO) which is the main energy used by the Company has to be supplied from sources other than the Kaduna Refinery which is the closest to CCNN’s plant and had not been
supplying LPFO for quite a long time now,” Rabiu stated.
“Cement demand in Nigeria in 2017 came
down by almost 20 percent compared to 2016. During the year 2017, the Company had revenue of N19, 588,260,886 compared to the N14, 087,553,499 it recorded in 2016.”

Continuing: “Improved Cement prices and
efficient cost management contributed to higher revenue and the good margin that was the best witnessed so far in the
company’s long history. This is indeed an excellent achievement which we hope to sustain in the company going forward.
