In an effort to stabilize cement prices, the Federal Government engaged with major cement manufacturers, including Dangote and BUA, to establish a price monitoring mechanism.
An agreement was reached to lower cement prices from the previous range of ₦9,000–₦15,000 per 50kg bag to a new nationwide range of ₦7,000–₦8,000, depending on location.
However, significant reductions in cement prices have yet to materialize, leading to further government scrutiny and potential interventions.
