On Sunday, BUA Cement PLC declares a reduction in the price of its cement product to N3,500 per bag, effective from Monday, October 2, 2023.
This price adjustment aligns with the company’s dedication to fostering progress in the building materials and infrastructural sectors.
The company made this announcement via a statement shared on its X (formerly Twitter) page. This move comes several weeks after BUA Cement PLC’s chairman, Abdul Samad Rabiu, pledged to reconsider the product’s price following a meeting with President Bola Tinubu.
The statement reads thus;
“BUA Cement reduces ex-factory cement prices to N3,500/bag effective October 2, 2023.
We refer to our previous pronouncements regarding our intent to reduce cement prices upon the completion of our new lines at the end of the year, in order to spur development in the building materials and infrastructure sectors.
As per the commitment made to reduce prices and following a periodic review of our operations for efficiency, the management of BUA Cement Plc wishes to announce and inform our esteemed customers, stakeholders, and the public that effective October 2, 2023, we have decided to bring the price reduction forward. As a result, BUA Cement would now be sold at an ex-factory* price of 3,500 Naira per bag so that Nigerians can begin to enjoy the benefits of the price reduction before the completion of our plants.
Upon completion of the ongoing construction of our new plants, which would increase our production volumes to 17million metric tonnes per annum, BUA Cement PLC intends to review these prices further in line with our earlier pronouncements by the first quarter of 2024.
NOTE: all pending, undelivered orders which had been paid for at the old prices will be reviewed downwards to N3500/bag in line with the new pricing from October 2, 2023. Our licensed dealers are also enjoined to ensure that end-users benefit from this reduction in ex-factory prices as we will monitor field sales to ensure compliance.”
