The Chairman of BUA Group, Alhaji Abdul-Samad Rabiu, has said that the company would maintain its promise of selling cement at the price of N3,500 from January 2024.<\/p>\n
Speaking with State House correspon\u00addents after a visit to President Bola Tinubu on Thursday in Lagos, Alhaji Rabiu said the company would also make the product accessible and affordable to customers in spite of various challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know the price that we have set will be N3,500 per bag. You know ex-factory of course plus VAT and then delivered to customers depending on the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you know, the factories that we have; one is in Edo, the other one is in Sokoto State. So for example, if you want us to deliver cement to you from Soko\u00adto say to Lagos from Adamawa or to Maiduguri, the distance is quite far.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo dependent on the dis\u00adtance and dependent on the location. You know the price changes, but we intend to keep that promise,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Rabiu added that the cement company site in Sokoto that would be inaugurated by Janu\u00adary 2024 is expected to further expand the market across the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd as we all know, the volumes that we will be having will be about six million tons per annum combined. And we expect those volumes to have an impact.<\/p>\n
\u201cThough we\u2019re having some issues here and there, but these are issues that I believe we can address and we are addressing them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rabiu said his visit to the president was to felicitate him on the Christmas and New Year festivities, adding that it was a pleasant one.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is always quite good to see them when they are relaxed and you know, I am pleased to say that His Excellency looked very relaxed, well rested and also in good spirits,\u201d BUA chief said.<\/p>\n
