Towards a better and quality driven industry, leading cement manufacturers have pledged their
commitment to align with the House Representatives position that the 42.5mpa
cement grade should be the minimum standard of quality to be produced
in the country, while all expired ones be withdrawn forthwith from the market.
Already, cement manufacturing companies such
as Bua, Ibeto and Dangote said long before the quality review by the Standard
Organization of Nigeria (SON) which pegged the 42.5 grade for general purpose
use, they had been producing the quality grade and nursed no intention to
produce lower quality cement.
A statement sent to SHOWBIZPLUSng stated that the Hon. Dogara’s
ad-hoc Committee on Cement Composition and Pigmentation had after a public
hearing from stakeholders submitted its report to the House of Representatives,
in which it asked SON to commence implementation of its cement standardization
and that manufacturers should retool their machinery for the production of
the higher grade of cement.
