Consequently, the House mandated its Committees on Solid Minerals Development, Commerce, Industry and Special Duties to investigate the increment cement prices by the manufacturers and report back within four weeks for further legislative action. The summon followed the adoption of a motion moved by Hon. Gaza Jonathan Gbefwi (SDP, Nasarawa) and Hon. Ademorin kuye (APC, Lagos) at plenary on Wednesday. Moving the motion Gbefwi noted that the manufacturers of cement have increased the price of their products by up to 50 per cent, leading to sharp hikes in building blocks, the cost of building, and consequently, house rents in the country. He also noted that the raw materials for the manufacturing of cement, which include lime, silica, alumina, iron oxide, and gypsum, are all sourced locally and
