Lafarge Cement Nigeria Plc has debunked reports blaming the 32.5 cement grade for building collapse in the country.
The company’s managing director and chief executive officer, Mr Joe Hudson, said this at a press briefing in Lagos, yesterday.
He said the use of the 32.5 cement grade was not responsible for building collapse, pointing out that building collapses are caused by the use of unqualified workmen in construction activities, absence of building codes and professional procedures, greed of some contractors to cut corners and sometimes national disasters.
“This clearly demonstrates that the use of 32.5 cement grades or any other cement grade is not responsible for building collapse and there is also no substandard cement in the country. We are the first to start a national building dialogue to address the real cause of building collapse. We published a book and we also had a national discuss about this issue in April and had a lot of stakeholders in attendance to find out reasons for building collapses in the country,” he said.
