Dangote Cement was chosen as the most trusted cement brand in a survey of 13,000 consumers, and received the accolade at the annual Most Trusted Brand Award organised by Brand Health.
Brand Health Chief Executive Officer Emman Udowoima commended Dangote Cement for the achievement, describing it as a brand of trust and choice indeed.
“Four out of ten consumers who took part in the study voted Dangote Cement as the Most Trusted Cement Brand in Nigeria.
“The popularity and the confidence in the brand is overwhelming as its closest rival scored just 12 per cent while Dangote scored 41 per cent,” he said.
Other cement brands scored between 3 and 8 per cent.
About 13,000 respondents participated in the 2022 survey across 11 states – Lagos, Oyo, Enugu, Abia, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Plateau, Adamawa, Borno, Kaduna, Kano, and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), according to Udowoima.
