Minister of Works, David Umahi, is calling for a meeting with cement manufacturers on Monday over the escalating price of the commodity.
In a statement by the Special Adviser to the Minister, Edward Uchenna Orji, the Minister is reportedly concerned about the rising price of cement.
Invited to the urgent meeting are foremost cement manufacturers like: Dangote Plc, BUA Plc and Larfarge.
The statement quoted the Minister as saying: “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.”
