The Federal Government, on Wednesday, explained that the rising cost of production is responsible for the recent cement price hike and not its concrete road policy.
It also said that its insistence on concrete roads will not phase out traditional asphalt roads but is only an alternative for sites with high water tables and poor conditions.
The Minister of Works, David Umahi said this while briefing State House correspondents after Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council meeting at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.
