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.

Ibi Ugwu (Male Circumcision) In Igbo Land

The act of circumcising babies in Igbo land is an ancient culture and tradition of the Igbo people which has its origin from their traditional religions. “Circumcision is the act of removing female genitalia, or a simple fold of skin (foreskin and prepuce) that covers the head of an un-erect penis”. In ancient times, the Igbos circumcise both male and female children, but as modernization set in, the circumcision or genital mutilation of Igbo female children was stopped while that of male continued till today. The circumcision of male babies (Ibi Ugwu) in Igbo land is done on the 8th day after birth. This is done by experts in the act, like midwives and native doctors (in modern day, physicians carry out this operation). During circumcision, the fore skin that covers the head of the penis is cut off and the operated part is treated to heal quickly and to prevent any form of infection. Male circumcision (Ibi Ugwu) takes five to seven day to heal up. Meanwhile, some Igbos circumcis...

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. The first born of the twins is called Táíwò, a shortened form of Tò-aiyé-wò (taste the world) while the last born of the t...
