Nigerite Limited is a Nigerian manufacturer of fibre-cement roofing sheets, ceiling boards, and building components with its headquarters in Ikeja, Lagos State. Nigerite, which is Nigeria’s oldest manufacturing company, was established in April 1959, and is partly owned by Odu’a Investment Company Limited, Eternit (Etex Group) who had majority shareholding, PZ Cussons (formerly Paterson Zochonis Industries plc), and John Holt.
The company has established a significant presence in Nigeria’s building materials sector, with its roofing products accounting for an estimated 35% of the country’s low-end roofing sheet market as of 2011.
Its product lines, including Aminatus, Super Seven, Litespan, and Kalsi, are distributed through building material suppliers and are used by contractors and developers in construction projects across Nigeria.
