Block moulders embark on strike action over increasing rate of cement, granites, other building materials
The National
Association of Block molders of Nigeria yesterday began a five-day warning
strike over the increasing price of building construction materials such as
granite, cement and others. President of the association, Rasco Adebowale, says
the strike action will among other things, afford them the opportunity to
review the price of blocks to reflect the new prices of the building
construction materials.
According to the moulders, there have been a 50% increase in the price of raw materials they use in moulding blocks particularly cement which went from N1,600 to N2,300 last week.
They say the price of cement is as high as N21,350 in some places that are not easily accessible.
