The Northern Regional capital, Tamale has been hit by cement shortage.<\/p>\n

This comes at the back of\u00a0Citi Business News<\/strong>\u00a0hint last week of a nationwide shortage of the cement product.<\/p>\n

Some major cement retailers in Tamale Township including Aspet and Yaamusah companies limited have empty warehouses.<\/p>\n

Not considering the shortage, the price of cement within a space of 12 hours skyrocketed from GHC28 to GHC35 in Tamale Township.<\/p>\n

The new price is fixed for any brand be it GHACEM, Diamond or the imported Chinese cement.<\/p>\n

Managing Director of Aspet Company Limited in Kukuo, Nyarko Emmanuel in a\u00a0Citi Business News<\/strong>\u00a0interview said the shortage had adversely affected his business.<\/p>\n

According to him, customers who got astonished by the new price either turned away or deposited for small quantities.<\/p>\n

Some frustrated cement consumers and retailers who gathered at the Aspet Company Limited bemoaned the situation and called for government\u2019s intervention.<\/p>\n

Equally, some tenants got alarmed by the situation and anticipated increment in rent.<\/p>\n

They said it would overburden their harsh living conditions and added their voice to calls on duty bearers to take quick action.<\/p>\n
