The cost of cement has jumped as much as 30% as fresh increases in prices and associated products were implemented recently by distributors across the country. Nigeria is one of the largest producers of cement on the continent, but the price of cement continues to rise, especially this year over the high inflation that impacted the building materials market. In Kubwa, Bwari area of Federal Capital Territory, a 50 kilograms bag of Dangote cement has surged to between N8,600 and N9,600, while BUA sells between N8500 and N9500.
