Nigerians react to Mangal cement price
@Melebroz1 commented:
“This is a positive move, but I think Mangal Cement’s production line might only handle 200 bags per day.”
@YDutsun44451 said:
“Mangal, thank you for intensifying the competition in the cement market. You should consider lowering your price to quickly gain more awareness.”
@de_prof_de_chef added:
“Any plans to make it even cheaper, like N4k? Also, how strong is it?”
@Olowolagbaomo remarked:
“This is a market strategy at work. Dangote did something similar when they entered the market, selling at N1,250/N1,300 when the market price was N1,650. It’s a good time to take advantage of it.”
@Wf_Bobson suggested:
“Why is it priced at N6k? That’s too high. Reduce it to N2k to make it more affordable for the average person and to undercut Dangote’s products.”
@Abbadanejo asked:
“I want to buy 50 bags. Can anyone help me with that?”
