  🇳🇴 Daniel Daga Sentenced by Norwegian Court, Appeals Verdict Molde FK midfielder Daniel Daga has been sentenced to six months in prison by a Norwegian court after being found guilty of committing a sexual act without consent. The Nigerian midfielder joined Molde FK from Enyimba just a year ago as one of the promising young talents to move from the NPFL to Europe. However, Daga has appealed the ruling through his lawyer, meaning the decision is not yet legally final and the case will continue through the Norwegian judicial system. Molde FK have also confirmed that the midfielder will not be included in the club’s matchday squad until further notice while the legal process continues.

 Swiss cement maker Holcim exits Nigeria, sells business to Chinese firm


Swiss cement maker Holcim will exit its Nigerian business through the sale of its nearly 84% stake in Lafarge Africa to China’s Huaxin Cement, it was announced on Sunday.


The sale price is $1 billion for a 100% stake.


The sale aligns with Holcim’s strategy to streamline its portfolio and focus on high-growth regions, including the upcoming spin-off of its North American business, which remains on track for a U.S. listing in the first half of 2025.


The transaction is expected to close in 2025, subject to regulatory approval, according to Holcim’s statement, which did not provide further details on the reason for this specific sale.


In November 2023, Holcim said it had signed deals to sell its businesses in Uganda and Tanzania, further advancing its strategy to consolidate leadership in core markets as the global leader in innovative and sustainable building solutions.


According to Reuters, The deal marks the latest in a series of African acquisitions by Huaxin Cement. In 2021, Huaxin Cement announced it had agreed to buy two businesses that were part of Lafarge, which merged with Holcim in 2015: a 75% stake in Lafarge Zambia and all of Lafarge Cement Malawi.

Last year, it also announced the purchase of South Africa’s Natal Portland Cement Company.


Holcim has been focusing on sustainable growth in its core markets, higher-margin products, and strategic infrastructure investments. The company is also working to enhance its environmental credentials, having taken a stake in Sublime Systems, a U.S. tech start-up focused on low-carbon cement.


In October, Holcim reported a slightly better-than-expected recurring operating profit of 1.67 billion Swiss francs ($1.90 billion) for the third quarter.
