Investigations have indicated that retailers of major cement producers in the country have continued to sell the commodity at high prices despite the agreement between the Federal Government and the manufacturers.

Truetells Nigeria recalls that Dangote, Lafarge, BUA, and other cement producers had agreed to sell 50kg bag of cement between N7,000 and N8,000.

The agreement was reached at a meeting initiated by the Minister of Works, David Umahi.

However, despite the initial agreement, reports from The Nation have shown that cement is being sold for as high as  N10,000 and N11,000 in the Idimu area of Lagos state.
