NIGERIA AT A GLANCE • Most Populous Black Nation: 170 million; 130 persons per sq. km (2014 World Bank); • 1 Nigerian in 4 Africans (1:4) • 6 Geopolitical Zones; 36 States and a FCT • 123 Universities and Research Institutions related to Construction • Abundant Natural and Human Resources Fig 1: Geopolitical Zones in Nigeria Presented at a Public Symposium on “Cement and Concrete - related Issues for the African Market” 26th February, 2015, at White Sa nds Hotel, Dar-es Salaam, Tanzania
OVERVIEW OF CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES IN NIGERIA • Civil engineering projects, real estates and their maintenance. • Organised construction began in the early 1940’s. • Construction Industries: is a multi-billion dollars business. contributes about 3.2% of the Nation’s GDP Grows rapidly: Growth rate of 18.08%. May meet up with China by 2020 • It is dominated by foreigners • More than 40% of Nation’s budget.

CONCRETE AS A MAJOR MATERIAL CONSUMED Concrete = Water + Cement + Aggregate (Fine and Coarse) + Admixtures • The most widely consumed material • Steel: Concrete = 1:4 • World consumption:11 billion tonnes/year • 1 tonne for every human being on earth • Cement is essential to concrete production Presented at a Public Symposium on “Cement and Concrete - related Issues for the African Market” 26th February, 2015, at White Sa nds Hotel, Dar-es Salaam, Tanzania
CEMENT PRODUCTION & CONSUMPTION: WHERE LIES NIGERIA? • Global cement demand in 2013: 3.9bmt (6.6% growth rate). • Africa represented only 5% of world cement consumption • Nigeria ranked amongst the world’s top 10 importers of cement in 2011 •Now, Nigeria’s production capacity was 29.2mmtpa in 2013 and was expected 38.2mmtpa in 2014 • It is now top 19 largest cement producing countries in the world) (Table 2) • Demand > Supply Presented at a Public Symposium on “Cement and Concrete - related Issues for the African Market” 26th February, 2015, at White Sa nds Hotel, Dar-es Salaam, Tanzania
