He said most of the employees in the Dangote’s Obajana Cement Plant are from the host communities, even as he enjoyed them to be the Ambassadors of the company.

The Dangote’s Obajana Cement factory, which is the single largest cement plant in the world, has spent billions of naira in Corporate Social Responsibility to support host and the plant communities.

Speaking at the occasion, Chairman Senate Committee on FCT, Senator Dino Melaye, who hails from Kabba thanked Dangote Group and others who are contributing to the development of the Okun people, whom he described as peaceful.
