Head of sports at Angel Broadcasting Network (Angel FM) and morning show host, Saddick Adams, has raised concerns over reports that cement prices are set to increase by GH¢12 in the coming days.

Speaking on the September 10, 2026, edition of the Angel Morning Show, he explained that the hike, according to reports, stems from a shipment of clinker that was delayed at the port, attracting demurrage charges which importers are now seeking to recover.

"I have heard that cement prices are set to increase by GH¢12 in the coming days. The reason, I am told, is that a shipment of clinker was delayed at the port, leading to demurrage charges, and now every cost incurred is being passed on," he said.

According to Adams, ordinary Ghanaians should not bear the cost of port congestion.

He called on the President to instruct his ministers to act swiftly to prevent the increase, warning that such decisions could have political consequences, and criticised the development.

"To the Trade and Transport Minister, we do not care about these costs. Mr President, instruct your responsible ministers to act swiftly on anything that will affect cement prices, because it is not the business of ordinary Ghanaians that congestion at the port has caused extra charges," he added.

"Speak to your appointees; otherwise, you will bear the consequences. Young men are building, and if cement prices rise by GH¢12 per bag, what message are you sending?" he quizzed.

He further cautioned that while the President may not contest again, future candidates from the ruling party could suffer politically if such issues continue to frustrate citizens.

Adams also claimed that small but impactful matters like cement pricing could erode public confidence and make the government unpopular.

"You may not contest again, but those who hope to contest in future will suffer politically because of these decisions. Small issues like this can make your government and party very unpopular," he declared.
