Worried by the escalating cost of cement despite huge patronage by road and housing contractors to cement manufacturers, the Minister of Works, Senator (Engr) Nweze David Umahi has summoned an urgent meeting of all cement manufacturers in Nigeria.
Those invited are Dangote Plc,
BUA Plc, Larfarge and others.
According to a press statement signed by Hon. Barr. Orji Uchenna Orji,
Special Adviser (Media) to the Hon. Minister of Works and made available to NATIONAL WAVES, the meeting shall hold on the 19th of February, 2024 at the Federal Ministry of Works, Mabushi, Abuja by 1 pm
The Minister stated that “it is common knowledge that the manufacturers have their challenges, which we shall look into, but from our findings, the disparity between ex-factory price and the market price is wide. We therefore need to look into the situation and other issues with a view to finding a common front.”
