Dangote Cement Plc plans to establish an academy to transfer essential skills to block makers and artisans in the real estate sector.
The academy aims to combat collapse building by reducing quackery and providing necessary training.
The company will support graduates with tools and machinery, and they have already built numerous cement depots across the country to ensure cement availability.
Dangote Cement has significantly contributed to the development of the real estate sector by investing in cement production, which has led to exporting cement instead of importing it.
