In a significant development, the Federal Government of Nigeria and cement manufacturers have successfully negotiated a deal to address the rising costs of cement in the country. The collaborative effort, marked by extensive closed-door meetings, resulted in manufacturers tentatively agreeing to a retail price range of N7,000 to N8,000 for a 50kg bag of cement, depending on geographical locations across the nation.
The breakthrough came after prolonged discussions involving key stakeholders, including the Honorable Minister of Works, Engr. Nweze David Umahi, and the Honorable Minister of Trade and Investment, Dr. Doris Uzoka-Anite. Representatives from major companies such as Dangote Group and BUA Group also played a pivotal role in the negotiations.
