THE Ibeto Groups and Sinomas Chinese Group of Companies are to construct two high-capacity cement factories in Nkalagu and Effium communities of Ebonyi.

Chief Cletus Ibeto, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ibeto group of companies disclosed this on Friday in Abakaliki when he led a delegation of both groups on a courtesy call on Gov. David Umahi.

Ibeto who is the lead partner of the projects, remarked that the first factory will be situated beside the moribund Nigerian Cement Company (NIGERCEM) Nkalagu will produce 9, 000 metric tones of cement per day.

“We are not going to remove anything from the old plant but set up the new one beside the moribund factory.

“Nothing is going to be removed in the old plant and we would ensure that it would be completed on record-time.

“We would also commence another plant in Effium community but due to less availability of limestone deposit in the area, the factory would produce 3, 000 metric tone cement per day,” he said.

The business mogul remarked that the team would be steady at the project sites as preliminary works such designing would commence immediately.

“We would ensure that all agreement reached during the contact signing in 2015 are met as the factories would ensure rapid economic development of the areas and the state.
