Homeowners, builders, and tenants across Nigeria are decrying the sustained hike in cement prices, ranging from ₦9,500 to ₦12,000 per 50 kg bag, despite pledges by major manufacturers like Dangote and BUA to reduce costs in support of President Bola Tinubu’s housing agenda.

Naija News recalls that in March 2025, when the price of cement tumbled to ₦7,800 (down from a whopping ₦15,000 in February 2024), Nigerians hoped for lasting relief.
