I am a supervisor, so we mostly buy materials in bulk, and buying such bulk from retailers will surely come with high cost that will bounce the budget out of the good range. The project I am presently supervising has suffered a significant slow down, as a matter of fact, all work has been suspended now due to un-availability of cements.

For the past one week now, I have constantly been told that cement is not available for sale at the Akure (Ondo State) depot of Dangote Cement. I have met with desk officers and even distributors all around the depot, and the response remain the same. There is also no hope, as they all also submitted that they don't know when cement will be available.

But the disappointing situation is the fact that, I keep seeing loaded Dangote trucks coming into the depot, but no one categorically want to talk about that at the depot. It is really confusing and suspicious.

Over to you NLers.
