Increase in cement price: stakeholders speak

Getting 100 bags of cement at N1m shows that the young landlady bought the material at N10,000 per bag.

The increase in cement prices has also bothered stakeholders in the industry. The National Association of Block Moulders of Nigeria (NABMON) called on the federal government to intervene.

The association's president, Adesegun Banjoko, said the government's inaction towards the industry could have a negative effect.

He said:

“We are waiting for that pragmatic step from the government on this issue of cement prices. Just as we’ve seen conscious and deliberate efforts to stabilise the Naira and petroleum prices, similar intervention is urgently needed in the cement sector.”

In related stories, a lady showed the house she built on a half plot of land, while a young man built a small building for himself.
