Current Price Of Cement In 36 States Of Nigeria

Despite efforts to stabilize cement prices in Nigeria through agreements between the federal government and cement manufacturers, the cost of a 50kg bag of cement continues to hover between ₦8,500 and N10,500 in retail markets.

This price range starkly contrasts with the ₦7,000 to ₦8,000 target agreed upon, underscoring persistent challenges in making construction materials affordable for Nigerians.

The recent spike in cement prices places Nigeria in a higher bracket than other African countries despite the presence of major cement brands such as Dangote, Lafarge, Ibeto, BUA, and UNICEM, which dominate the market.

These brands, known for their quality and wide distribution network, sell cement bags at almost uniform rates across the country.

Notably, Ibeto and BUA Cement are positioned as the more budget-friendly options in the Nigerian cement market. In contrast, Dangote Cement occupies a mid-range price point, whereas UNICEM and Lafarge Cement are priced at the higher end of the spectrum.

While wholesale purchases, equivalent to a trailer load, offer some cost-saving advantages, the retail prices remain significantly high for the average Nigerian consumer or small-scale builder.
