Dangote Cement Plc is set to launch a multi-million naira skills development centre in Lokoja, Kogi State, as part of its ongoing commitment to youth empowerment and regional economic growth.
The project, spearheaded by Dangote Group President Aliko Dangote in collaboration with the Kogi State government, is expected to be completed in the coming months. According to a statement from the company’s Corporate Communications Department, the centre will equip young Nigerians with essential skills, promoting job creation and supporting Nigeria’s industrialization efforts.
