      abstract = {The rising cost of living devastates world economies as prices of basic commodities continue to rise. The construction industry is not left out as construction materials like cement, reinforcements, and so on, have witnessed exponential price increases. The study aimed at reducing the cost of concrete by using sugar cane bagasse ash (SBA), a by-product of sugarcane after all useful sugar has been extracted, as an alternative binder for partial cement replacement in concrete. Cement was partially replaced with SBA at an SBA-to-cement percentage of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. Results show that the highest strengths of ?19.74N/mm?^2,?28.75N/mm?^2  and ?31.34N/mm?^2 for 7 days, 14 days, and 28days curing respectively were obtained from plain concrete, while the least strength of ?12.69N/mm?^2,?14.69N/mm?^2,and ?15.01N/mm?^2 were obtained from concrete containing 20% SBA. Although SBA possesses pozzolanic properties and improves concrete's workability, a continuous increase of SBA in concrete does not guarantee a constant strength increase.},
