Biting Inflation: Block Moulders Commence Five Days Strike

The National Association of Block Moulders of Nigeria has embarked on a five-day warning strike over the increasing price of building construction materials such as granite, cement and others.

According to the moulders, there is 50% increment in the price of raw materials used in moulding blocks particularly cement which went from N1, 600 to N2, 300 last week.

The President of the association, Rasco Adebowale, said the strike action was to give them the opportunity to review the price of blocks in line with the latest increment.
