BUA Group, through its subsidiary, BUA Ports & Terminals, is a concessionaire of Terminal ‘B’ of the Nigerian Ports Authority (Rivers Port), in Rivers State, Nigeria. This concession was done to improve port logistics efficiency and was obtained through a highly competitive bidding process under the Public Enterprise (Privatization & Commercialization) Act No. 28 of 1999.

Steel is critical to the development of any nation. With an annual local steel consumption of about 4 million tons mostly imported, Nigeria does not operate a single integrated steel mill.
Through our subsidiary, BUA Iron & Steel Ltd, plans are in place to establish a 1million tonnes/annum state-of-art steel plant utilizing locally sourced iron ore, natural gas and limestone. BUA Group has therefore secured an exploration license for Iron Ore in Kogi State, Central Nigeria.
BUA Steel won a government bid to acquire Delta Steel Company Ltd through the government’s privatisation exercise.

Upon completion, BUA Steel Complex will be the only steel mill in WestAfrica that produces from iron ore to Steel.
