Cement seller calls his customer, refunds N400 balance

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a man bought cement in Kaduna at N8,200 per bag and shared his experience on X.

The man, Ahmad Kargi, said he went home with the cement only to receive a phone call from the seller. According to Ahmad, the cement seller told him the price of a bag of cement had been reduced to N7,800.

The cement seller, therefore, offered to return a balance of N400 on each bag to the customer due to the reduced price.
