Truck drivers and owners under the Ikorodu-Ketu Truck Owners and Drivers Association staged a protest on Monday in Ikorodu, Lagos State, over what they described as an arbitrary and unsustainable increase in the price of sharp sand.
According to the protesters, the Dredgers Association recently raised the price of a 30-ton shipment from ₦126,000 to ₦178,500—an increment of over ₦52,000. They say this is the third increase in just two months, and it’s already driving customers away.
