The Chairman of Dangote Cement Plc, Alhaji Aliko Dangote over the weekend charged stakeholders in the building and construction industry to unite and decisively confront the menace of building collapse in the country, saying it was time a stop was put to it.

Speaking through the Group Managing Director of the company, Devakumar Edwin, in Obajana, Kogi State during a sensitization tour of the cement plant by the leadership of the National Association of Block Moulders of Nigeria in the South West and Edo State, the business mogul said cases of structure failures had assumed a national embarrassment, therefore everyone concerned must fashion a way out.

According to him, it was one of the reasons why his company hosted the block moulders as critical stakeholders to the sensitization tour.

Dangote also pointed out that the visit of the block moulders as well as the series of the sensitization workshops organized across the country for them would assist in having the block moulders realize the fact that there are different grades of cement for different purposes and for different applications as prescribed by the regulatory authority, the Standards Organization of Nigeria, SON.
