Tinubu Orders Dangote, BUA, and Others to Return to Old Cement Prices, Causing hardship

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the president, has ordered cement manufacturers to maintain the current pricing of the material.

This was disclosed to reporters by Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, who had just inspected the BUA cement plant in Sokoto on Thursday.

He claims that the president told the cement producers to go back to the previous pricing at a meeting with them.

In order to realise the vast housing initiative and the renewed hope agenda of concrete roads, he urged them to follow the president’s order.

The completion of the fifth line was complimented by Umahi to the corporation.

While waiting to be commissioned, the 5th line has already began operation, as I can confirm from my visit here, as promised by the chairman of the company during his visit to Mr. President last week.

On the other hand, he applauded the company’s management for keeping the entire facilities clean.

The minister announced that the federal government is constructing a 372 km dual road from Zaria to Sokoto State, accompanied by Senator Aminu Tambuwal, who chairs the Senate committee on housing.

I want to take a look around on my own. It has come to light that the federal government is presently undertaking the construction of 372 dual kilometres of road, with the first segment being paved with asphalt and the second segment with concrete.

The 372 kilometres will add up to 744 kilometres when we divide the dual carriageway in half.

In keeping with Mr. President’s agenda of renewed hope, the second 372 km will be completed using pure concrete.

Senator Aminu Tambuwal also spoke, praising BUA administration for doing an excellent job with its duties.

Along with increasing manufacturing capacity, he urged the company’s leadership to make sure the product is inexpensive for everyone so that it can keep up with the present administration’s housing for all initiatives.

In his opening remarks, Engineer Yusuf Binji, the firm’s managing director, promised that the fifth line will allow for the company to guarantee large manufacturing of the product.

In his opinion, the price of cement will continue to fall as a result of the increase in output.
