The Federal Government has commended BUA Group for the reduction of its cement price from N5,500 per 50kg per bag to N3,500.
The government has called on other cement producers in the country to follow suit and assist common Nigerians.
Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Arc. Ahmed Dangiwa who made the commendation said the Ministry is aware that most cement vendors are yet to initiate the new price of BUA, claiming they are still selling the stock they bought at the previous price.
He said the government is trying to reach out to BUA Group, to make them brand the new ones they intend to sell at the new rate so buyers would be able to differentiate between the old stick and new, to avoid being cheated.
Dangiwa made this known while fielding questions from newsmen in Abuja, after a tour of three housing projects in Suleja Dikko prototype Public-Private Partnership (PPP) cooperatives, Gwagwalada NPH PPP and the Guzape Federal Housing Authority (FHA) estates.
