The proposed dividend payout is indicative of CCNN’s profitability in spite of the competition that is posed by the likes of Dangote Cement Plc and Lafarge Africa Plc. However, it is important to note that the proposed dividend of N0.40 for the full-year period ended December 2018 marks a decline compared to N1.25 dividend per share in 2017.
