Dangote Group, the parent company of Dangote Cement has debunked claims making around of reducing price of cement from N5,500 to N2,700.

There are speculation that the Dangote group slash the cement price by 50 per cent with effect from October 1, 2023.

Reacting to the report circulating on various social media, Bahir Ahmad, media aide to former president Muhammadu Buhari, described the news as false through his X page on Sunday.
