Shareholders of Dangote Cement Plc have approved a final dividend of N45 per ordinary share for the financial year ended 31 December 2025, bringing the total payout to an unprecedented N753.8bn.
The approval came as the company reaffirmed its long term strategy of expanding across Africa through aggressive investments in production capacity, cleaner energy, and operational efficiency.
The dividend was approved at the company’s 17th Annual General Meeting in Lagos, where the Chairman of Dangote Cement Plc, Emmanuel Ikazoboh, said the firm was positioning Africa for self sustaining industrial growth by leveraging local resources and strategic investments.
The National President of the Association for the Advancement of the Rights of Nigerian Shareholders, Dr Faruk Umar, lauded the group’s overarching focus on continental independence.
Umar said, “The key thing for this year’s AGM is transforming Africa. You will notice that our founder is trying to ensure he positions Africa to be the source of our own wealth, using our own wealth to take care of our own business and activities, rather than depending on investors from other parts of the world coming to help us build our continent.
