Dangote Cement Plc, Africa’s largest cement producer, has announced that its 15th Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on May 27, 2025, at the Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos.

The meeting will bring together shareholders to deliberate on critical resolutions, including the approval of a ₦30.00 per share dividend for the 2024 financial year.

The proposed dividend, if approved, will be distributed to shareholders whose names appear on the company’s register as of April 30, 2025, with payment scheduled to follow shortly after the AGM.

Appointment of new directors to the board.

Ratification of the audit committee, with nominations open to shareholders.
