Nigeria has remained the country with the highest cement price in the world, national chairman, Cement Producers Association of Nigeria (CEPAN), David Iweta, has said.

Besides, he said despite claims by the three major cement plant owners in the country, Nigeria will need additional seven to 10 million metric tonnes (mmts) per annum to meet local demand, no thanks to increase in housing and infrastructure construction.
“If you check the price of cement anywhere in the world, Nigeria has the highest price.

Presently, Dangote produces 17mmts, BUA, – 10mmts and Larfarge, -7mmts. There is need for additional 10mmts to meet demand,” Iweta said.

Suggesting ways out, the national chairman of CEPAN called on President Bola Tinubu to end the monopoly in cement production and distribution by allowing other players to come in.


Speaking with the Nigerian Tribune in Lagos, Iweta maintained that the high cement price in the country was due to the inability of the industry to meet the demands for the commodity.

Why are like this ? Taking advantage of every opportunity to exploit others

That is what happens when cement production is almost a monopoly.

Everything is high in Nigeria including the cost of living. ..


But one politician will come out to say that we have the lowest cement price, data price, house rent, transportation bills and so on and we will just keep mute and return to our suffering and smiling.

I have always said this and have always maintained Dangote is a thief

Poor thinking leadership

Unless Tinubu is ready for a fight, it will only remain a paperwork.

Dangote didn't use the upper Coat if Arms for nothing - it really had a meaning.

Greediness of afunjaaa decision to ensure only Dangote is controlling cement price here until BUA came up. Obasanjo evil deed
