BUA CEMENT REDUCES CEMENT PRICE TO N3,500/BAG

BUA Cement has slashed its cement prices to N3,500 per bag.

The company disclosed this on Sunday evening on its verified Twitter handle, noting that it would be effective from tomorrow, 2 October, 2023.

BUA Cement said the organisation had previously made pronouncements regarding the company’s intent to reduce cement prices upon the completion of new lines at the end of the year in order to spur development in the building materials and infrastructure sectors.

However, the company said after a periodic review of the organization’s operations for efficiency, it has decided to announce and inform its esteemed customers, stakeholders, and the public that effective October 2, 2023, it will bring the price reduction forward.

The company said its BUA cement would now be sold at an ex-factory price of 3,500 Naira per bag so that Nigerians could begin to enjoy the benefits of the price reduction before the completion of its plants.

The statement read: “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.”
