BRICKLAYERS LABOURERS LAMENT AS THE INCREASE IN CEMENT PRICES IN IBADAN
A bricklayer, Sunday Odeh, said he had been at home since the sudden increase in the price of cement to N12,000 per bag from its initial N5,500.
“The engineer I work with shortly before the sudden increase bought 50 bags of cement at N5,500.
After exhausting the cement at the site, he discovered that the price had jumped to N10000 since then things have changed.
“The engineer has been lamenting the sudden increase, saying he could not add extra money to get a new supply of the commodity without the consent of the property owner.
He came back to inform us that the property owner had refused to add more money for the job, thereby, putting a temporary stop to the project and he has asked the workers to stay at home until the price is reduced.
