Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, says President Bola Tinubu has directed cement companies in the country to revert to their old price.

He stated this in Sokoto on Thursday, explaining that Tinubu gave the directive to achieve his massive housing programme and concrete roads plan.

He said, “I want to encourage them to abide by the directive of Mr. President so that we can achieve massive housing programme and the renewed hope agenda of concrete roads of by the President.

“I am here to see things for myself, as you are aware, the Federal Government is currently embarking on 372 dual kilometres of road of which the first phase will be done with Asphalt, while the step down will be done with concrete.

“If you calculate the 372 kilometres, because it is dual carriage way into two will give us total of 744 kilometers. The second 372 kilometres will be conducted with pure concrete in line with the renewed hope agenda of Mr President.”
