Cement Bag Price in Nigeria Today 2024

Cement holds buildings together.

It is needed at every stage of building right from the laying of a building’s foundation to wall finishing.

As such, the price of cement must be factored carefully in any building budget.

Cement bags in Nigeria come in 50kg and fortunately, the Nigerian market offers one of the cheapest deals on cement in Africa.

“If you look at the price of cement today, vis-a-vis the price cement is selling in other countries, even in Africa, in terms of dollars, you would see that the price of cement in Nigeria today is probably the cheapest…” – BUA group.

For most people, Dangote cement is the only type of cement in Nigeria but there are lots of other options. Yes, Dangote cement is the most popular but also the most expensive brand in Nigeria.

But is it the best cement in the country?

That would be hard to tell considering that we’ve never heard or seen users of other brands complaining about the quality of cement used in building their homes or offices.

So while we may agree that Dangote cement is the popular choice amongst builders, it has not been proven in any way as the best type of cement in the country.

There are other competing and cheaper brands of cement in Nigeria and if you are looking to cut cost, you might want to check out the various options listed below. This post gives the prices of the various types of cement available in Nigeria.

Lafarge/Elephant Cement Price in Nigeria

Elephant Cement is indisputably the largest cement dealer in Nigeria after Dangote Cement.
