The programme aims to boost self-reliance and enhance employability in both public and private sectors. According to Engr. Aminu Bashir, Plant Director, “This empowerment scheme is not just about skill acquisition. It’s about giving these youths the tools they need to succeed in life—whether with BUA Cement or beyond.”
The company has also promised to offer sustainable, dignified livelihoods to local talents, with participants employed by BUA Cement after the training earning a monthly salary of N150,000. Engr. Bashir emphasized that the initiative aligns with BUA Cement’s long-standing commitment to impactful corporate social responsibility (CSR).
One of the beneficiaries, Muhammad Bello, described the training as “life-changing” and “a game-changer”, thanking the company for its ongoing contributions to community development. Industry stakeholders have lauded the initiative as a model CSR programme, urging other corporations to emulate BUA Cement’s approach to inclusive and sustainable development.
The Host Community Empowerment Programme is part of BUA Cement’s broader social impact agenda, which aims to uplift its communities through strategic investments in human capital. By fostering skill development and economic resilience, the company is creating long-term value and opportunities beyond its core operations.
The programme is expected to transform the lives of the 60 participants and generate positive ripple effects across their communities. BUA Cement’s commitment to youth empowerment and sustainable community development is a significant step towards creating a better future for its host and stakeholders
