Top Cement Firm In Nigeria Hit Hard By Boko Haram Attacks

A leading cement company in Nigeria says it has suffered losses of $230m (£150m) to attacks by militant Islamist group Boko Haram on its plant in north-eastern Gombe.
 Despite the attack, Ashaka Cement was determined to ensure it was “one of the only surviving institutions in the entire north-eastern Nigeria”, its chairman Suleiman Yahaya said after a meeting with the Emir of Gombe at the weekend.
