[b]The House of Representatives has recommended the usage of 42.5mpa grade cement for standard construction works in Nigeria. Federal lawmakers say the recommended 42.5mpa grade cement is less susceptible to misapplication compared to 32.5mpa. The House took the decision on Wednesday(july 02,2014) after adopting the report of Hon. Yakubu Dogara-led investigation into the high incidence of collapsed buildings in the country. The adopted report urged the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) to ensure that all cement manufacturers in Nigeria retool and upgrade their production lines to start producing the 42.5mpa grade within a reasonable time. It also recommended that government should create a cement fund from contributions of N10 per 50kg bag of cement produced in Nigeria and N20 only per 50kg of imported cement for the establishment of state-of- the-art laboratories in all the geo-political zones within the period of three years. The report said the fund should be managed by a task force to be set up by SON, the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), the Council of Registered Builders of Nigeria (CORBON) and the Nigerian Institute of Building (NIOB). The lawmakers also recommended that the passage of the National Building Code Bill should be expedited and strictly enforced when passed into law to check quackery, use of substandard building materials and to serve as a tool for the regulation of the informal downstream sector of the industry. Other recommendations are that all cement packages must clearly and boldly indicate their grades, uses and expiry dates with tamper proofing on the packages to guard against repackaging by middlemen; SON should ensure that all cement distributions withdraw expired cement from their warehouses and markets and destroy them.
