Lafarge Africa

It was gathered that Lafarge Africa shareholders recorded the highest growth in their investments, as it grew by 92.83 percent between the first quarter (Q1) and fourth quarter (Q4) of last year.

BUA Cement

In a space of 12 months, BUA Cement shareholders recorded a 91.93 percent growth in their investments in the manufacturer, which amounts to N2.89 trillion combined gain, according to Prime Business Africa’s analysis.
