ENHANCING BUILDING TECHNOLOGY TO BOOST THE NIGERIAN HOUSING SECTOR . Past President, Nigerian Institute of Building, Bldr. Kunle Awobodu ( Left ) and the Minister of Housing and Urban Development , Arc. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa in Abuja on Monday, September 11, 2023.
@Ladiawotinde My Great Builder, the cement manufacturers claimed low productivity caused by Covid-19 and rise in cement demand initiated this scarcity and the concomitant cement price hike.
The astronomical rise in the price of cement in Nigeria and the low purchasing power of Nigerians promote temptations for quality compromise in construction work. The government should step in quickly and save the nation from imminent danger of substandard building construction.
