How much is a bag of cement in Nigeria?
A 50kg bag of cement costs about ₦12,000 to ₦15,000 in most of Nigeria in autumn 2026. Dealers quoted about ₦12,000 for Dangote, BUA and HBM (formerly Lafarge) in September, but that was before transport. Some distributors sold BUA for as little as ₦8,500 in August, and specialist products like Lafarge Water Shield cost up to ₦18,000.

Why the price changes from place to place
- Distance from the plant: transport can add ₦1,000 or more a bag.
- Who you buy from: distributors are cheaper than corner shops.
- Season: prices often rise in the dry season, when building picks up.
- Order size: buying a trailer load gets a better price than a few bags.
