Kara: Awandjelo plant to produce an additional 250,000 tonnes of cement per year



The head of state inaugurated a new cement production plant in Kara, in the peripheral locality of Awandjelo about 420 km from the capital Lomé. The unit is a subsidiary of the Cimtogo company with a production capacity of 250,000 tons of cement per year.



It is the biggest German investment in Togo since the resumption of cooperation with Togo, a private financing of the Heidelberg Cement group. The cement plant in Awandjelo will now be able to serve the northern part of Togo and spare the country, harassment linked to the distribution of cement by trucks with all the difficulties related to it.

It is also an opportunity to overcome the endless shortages according to the minister of mines and energy in his inaugural speech. Togo, formerly the 4th largest cement producer in the subregion (behind Senegal, Nigeria and Ghana), is able to overshadow the level of first sub-regional producer with its new capacity of 2,250 million tons per year.
The development of the industrial sector is expected to exceed the annual GDP of this sector in the economy and create jobs. The Awandjelo cement plant will create almost 500 direct and indirect jobs.

The Kozah region has a good quality limestone reserve of around 150 to 200 million tons. There are also some in the Dankpen in spite of the reserves of the South where production units have already been installed for decades. The installation of production units in the North makes it possible to reduce the disproportionality of industrial installations in the country, since Lomé alone has an industrialization rate of 80% compared to national coverage.

Oruko Amutorunwa (Pre-Destined Names) In Yorubaland

                                                           Ibeji (Twins) In Yoruba land, one of the most important things done when a child is born is to give the child a name. This comes after the child’s ritual birth, massage of specific body parts and other rites as well. Names are given to the child by the father, mother, grandparents (paternal and maternal) and some close relatives also. But sometimes, the circumstance of a child’s birth will automatically give the child a name. This name is known as ‘orúko àmútọ̀runwá’ (pre-destined or generic name) in Yorubaland. The most common generic names (orúko àmútọ̀runwá) in Yoruba land are ‘Taiwo‘ and ‘Kehinde‘ (altogether known as Ìbejì) which are given to twins.

Creation of Commons: Togo on embers / Strong tensions in Wawa and Zio

Since the new "controversial" law on decentralization has been passed by the parliamentary majority RPT / UNIR, tension is mounting in the communities. Wrong cadres (belonging to the ruling party, ed) of these localities make use of this law according to their desiderata, thus creating frustrations within the populations. When the people of Klabe-Efoukpa and Okou are at loggerheads in the Wawa prefecture, the tone increases and hardens between Mission Tové and Kovié. In the maneuvers, power brokers are mentioned.  When it unilaterally launched the process of decentralization and fanciful creation of the communes, the power blinded by an electoral vision did not see the danger coming. Despite the warnings, the regime refused to listen to reason. The government has cut down on existing communities, which in particular engenders. "The dissolution of the capital cities of the prefectures in a nebula of communes created for electoral purposes". "In addition, ...
