Cement dealers and
block makers in the Federal Capital Territory on Wednesday lauded the
Federal Government’s intervention to bring down the high cost of cement
within 30 days.
A cross section of
cement dealers and block makers who spoke in separate interviews with
the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja said they were very happy with the
development.
Cynthia Ndubisi, a
distributor and block maker at Lugbe, said government’s intervention was
very timely, noting that it would boost the trade in cement and blocks.
Sanusi Samuel, a cement dealer, near the Games Village, however,
advised government to also consider reducing the prices of other
commodities, such as diesel, “which indirectly affects the price of
cement.”
