Tea sellers in Jigawa appeal to FG over increment in price of flour

By Bisola Adeyemo

Chairman of bakers association, Jigawa State chapter, has appealed to the federal and state governments to look into the increasing prices of all commodities for the benefit of all.

Umar Isah Jahun, chairman Tea and Bread sellers Association Jigawa State branch disclosed this in an interview with Daily Post in Dutse.

He said the bakers in the state have added N50 to each loaf of bread without considering the current situation.

“We have condemned their action in totality, therefore, if they refused to revert to an old price we have no other option than to boycott the bakers who have increased the price or embarked on strike.”

Umar urged the government to intervene to halt the increased price of bread which is the last option of the common man.

He appealed to the federal and state governments to look into the increasing prices of all commodities for the benefit of all.

He said the members of the association had last week embarked on a strike for two days to register their dismay over the price of flour and other baking ingredients.
