Lafarge expansion to upset Dangote Cement plans?
Lafarge Wapcos shareholders have approved the merger between the Nigerian unit of French cement maker Lafarge, Lafarge Wapco, and its whollyowned South African subsidiary. The consolidation of the South African unit with Nigerias Lafarge Wapco, Lafarge says, will help accelerate its growth on the African continent and expand its product offering in South Africa and across the region.
