The Association of Master Bakers and Caterers of Nigeria (AMBCN), Abuja, has called on the federal government to intervene in the recent price hike of flour by Super Four Mill and Golden Confectionery, stressing that the hike is killing their businesses and may also render many jobless if no action is taken.

In an exclusive chat with THE WITNESS correspondent on Monday, Kabiru Hassan Abdullahi, the national publicity secretary of the association who also doubles as its state secretary, Kano State branch, said that the price of flour was N9,500 not long ago but now it has reached N16,200.

According to Abdullahi:, “The federal government should please come to our aid. The hike is killing our businesses and it’s sad they have refused to do anything about it.

“The increment is over 50 per cent and it’s even more saddening because even with the dollar exchange rate of N1 to over N500, we still bought flour at same N9,500; but why is it now that the rate has dropped that they increasing the price? This is pure wickedness.

“What IRS, super and golden confectionery are doing is unhealthy for us and the Nigerian economy. In fact, they are planning to increase it again by N7, 000. Can you can imagine?

“One thing they should know is that if we are scrapped out of the market, the rate of unemployment in the country will double up because many in their thousands will lose their jobs.

“We are still meeting and as things stand, we may have no choice than to embark on an indefinite strike.

NIGERIA is just going down gradually, the only pity I have are those that are less privileged, how would they survive when price of foodstuffs are increasing rapidly everyday. buhari have really destroyed Nigeria to smithereens

My only annoyance is that despite the visible hunger, insecurity, poverty... etc, BMC are still fighting day and night to defendi this istration. I see them becoming victims of this satanic istration.

This I have seen.

Nigeria is a failed society. By the time buhari and his deluded team are done with Nigerians, even Somalia will look like London to them. Nonsense and Buhari with his zombies.

Nigeria on Autopilot...

Hmmmm

Wahala dey this country o, but it still surprises me that some people are blind to all these sufferings like one mumu simply werey and another manna sumtin sumtin animal

Nigeria is currently experiencing all these challenges because of a few myopic elected leaders.

There is absolutely nothing FG can do now, just hold on and pray for 2023 to come quickly. For now Naija don cast.

What exactly is responsible for the high increase in the cost of food within the space of 2 years.

Buhari needs to change his economic team

“One thing they should know is that if we are scrapped out of the market, the rate of unemployment in the country will double up because many in their thousands will lose their jobs.

“We are still meeting and as things stand, we may have no choice than to embark on an indefinite strike.

see threat

Who hunger go first kill if you embark on an indefinite strike?

Buhari's Government has failed everyone. I just can't imagine how we got to this point.

yeah Buhari has killed Nigeria. Imagine him hiking the price because he is the owner of those companies

By the time this govt is done with the country, every Union would've gone on strike at least once...na wa

How can the FG save U wen they are the ones pressuring the companies to increase prices? Multiple taxation and levies are billed these companies who in turn have to make the necessary adjustments on their prices to take profits.

There was this story that many ants were put in an enclosed container. They were all living in peace until the container was shaken severely. Then the ants started suspecting and fighting and killing each other. Not knowing it was the unseen hand outside that shook them.

Flour companies too are crying to FG that costs of Transportation and Production and electricity and raw materials are also killing their businesses.
Every sector supposed to know that the main Killer of every business in Nigeria is the FG.

Don't be dense...the govt has a hand in all this, they're the government for a reason

Not flour alone oooo. Every baking material has double in price for we bakers too.

The ripple effect is going to the Nigeria people. Government seems not to care, all they care about is to tax these companies and forget every other things the companies does. Qualities and quantities are reducing and prices are increasing.
