BUA is also of the firm belief that the current retail prices of cement are higher than normal, hence our earlier communication not to increase ex-factory prices in the foreseeable future,\u201d BUA had said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a responsible corporate entity, we refuse and reject associations with any actions that are deemed capable of projecting any industry we operate as a cartel. Hence, whilst we respect that the said company has decided to increase their prices, we are not questioning the reason(s) why, but would like to make clear BUA\u2019s position on a price increase.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe timing is not right for any increase on BUA\u2019s part, and we do not have any justifiable business reason to increase our prices (ex-factory) anytime soon. We therefore urge our distributors not to panic as well as not engage in any arbitrary hike in the retail price of BUA Cement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A market survey conducted in April showed\u00a0that prices of cement have increased significantly\u00a0across five states in the south-east compared to what was obtainable in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The report showed that cement prices have increased by 67 percent in these states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The BUA Group has finally increased its cement price by N200 weeks after raising the hopes of its customers.
