The management of Dzata Cement has in a statement said they are yet to announce the price of its products.
The statement advised the general public to disregard any price tag circulating on social media.
It comes after widespread social media reports that the cement is selling for GHC30, a price way below competition.
Different brands of cement sell between GHC45 and Ghc50 currently in Ghana.
Ghanaians were delighted about the news of the Dzata Cement as it is owned by a Ghanaian, Ibrahim Mahama.
A lot of personalities like Kennedy Agyapong among others have urged Ghanaians to patronize it.
