• A cement distributor complained after she heard that BUA slashed its price despite having old stock in her shop

• A construction expert, Murtala Gbenga, said that the price slash is yet to be reflected in how retailers sell

A cement distributor lamented bitterly following BUA group slashing the price of its building material product to N3,500.

She said prospective buyers even came after the price slash to negotiate for N2,000 per bag. She sarcastically told them to bring N1,000 instead.

The woman begged the government and the company to review their price-slash decision, saying it has affected her business. @jid_olams shared her video.

Speaking with a construction expert, Murtala Gbenga, he said that the price slash has not affected the cement retail price.

"Distributors are still selling for over N5,000 as they still have old stock. Everyone is waiting to see if things would change at the end of the month when new loads come in."
