Updated Cement Prices for Dangote, BUA, and HBM Brands

The prices of cement brands Dangote, BUA, and HBM remain a significant concern for Nigerians involved in construction and renovation. As of October 15, 2026, standard 50kg bags of Dangote 3X cement are priced at ₦13,100, BUA cement at ₦12,800, and HBM Elephant cement at ₦12,600.

HBM Elephant cement is ₦500 cheaper than Dangote 3X cement, while BUA cement is ₦300 cheaper. For bulk purchases, buying 100 bags of HBM Elephant cement would save ₦50,000 compared to purchasing the same quantity of Dangote 3X cement.

Prices can vary significantly across different locations, with some dealer quotations reaching ₦15,000 per bag. The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission reported a price increase from approximately ₦9,300–₦9,700 in January 2026 to ₦10,500–₦13,000 by mid-year.

The commission is investigating whether these price increases are due to legitimate costs or anti-competitive practices.
