Mr. Olaniyi added that Dangote Cement will be providing the bricklayers with basic tools that will help them in doing their jobs more efficiently and called on interested members to come and become distributors of Dangote Cement.

He commended the company for the introduction of the new 3X cement and called on participants to buy the products as it has been approved by SON.
