Those invited are:
1. Dangote Plc
2. BUA Plc
3. Larfarge and others.
According to a press statement by the Special Adviser (Media) to the Hon. Minister of Works, Hon. Barr. Orji Uchenna Orji, the meeting shall hold as follows:
Date: Monday, February 19, 2024.
Venue: Federal Ministry of Works, Mabushi, Abuja
Time: 1 pm
The Minister stated “It is common knowledge that the manufacturers have their challenges, which we shall look into, but from our findings, the disparity between ex-factory price and the market price is wide. We therefore need to look into the situation and other issues to find a common front.”
