Dangote Cement Plc has raised its dividend by 50 percent, from ₦30 to ₦45 per share, resulting in a historic ₦753.8 billion total payout following its strong 2025 financial performance.

Shareholders approved this record-breaking distribution at the company’s recent Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Lagos. Reflecting on the 2025 results, Chairman Emmanuel Ikazoboh noted that the bump highlights the company’s dedication to rewarding investors for their ongoing trust. He emphasized that the payout reflects a robust business model, disciplined capital management, and strong confidence in future growth while continuing to build long-term value for stakeholders.

“We highly value the trust our investors place in us and are dedicated to maximizing shareholder value through strict governance and operational excellence,” the CEO noted. He added that the firm delivered robust 2025 financials—pushing earnings to N59.86 per share—despite a tough economic climate. Consequently, Group MD and CEO Arvind Pathak attributed the dividend hike to these strong earnings and a resilient balance sheet.

“Raising the payout by 50% to N45 per share reflects Dangote Cement’s solid financial performance and robust cash-generating capabilities.

As we advance our pan-African footprint, we remain dedicated to generating sustainable value for our investors, funding future business growth, and boosting industrialization across the continent. To honor the unwavering support of our shareholders, we are pleased to deliver another substantial boost in returns.
