Computed just now by the same engine as the estimator, standard finish, land excluded.
These figures were surveyed in Kano, each with its source and its date. The rest of the price list starts from the national band and applies the city’s difference.
A major northern city and an old trading centre, near the Sokoto and Kalambaina works. Cement is cheapest in the north and dearest in the south-south, the reverse of every other market here, because Nigerian cement is made inland rather than landed at a port. No per-m² figure is published for Kano: the multiplier follows comparable secondary cities.
