Cement Price: Reps panel threatens arrest warrant against Dangote Cement

A committee of the House of Representatives investigating the hike in the price of cement has threatened to issue warrants of arrest against the management of Dangote Cement over its refusal to honour the committee’s invitation.

The House Committee on Solid Minerals, chaired by Jonathan Gaza (SDP, Nasarawa), issued the threat on Tuesday during a hearing at the National Assembly Complex after the management of the company failed to show up.

Mr Gaza said the committee would give the management of the company another opportunity to honour its invitation before taking the drastic step.
