Bakers in Lagos State have called on the Federal Government to intervene in the prices of baking materials, saying the current situation may lead to an increase in the prices of bread.
In a statement jointly issued by the chairmen of the Association of Master Bakers and Caterers of Nigeria, Kosofe and Surulere, Lagos, Taiwo Akintola and Ibitoye Oladapo, respectively, the group expressed sadness over the rates of baking materials due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“A bag of flour that cost N9,000 before COVID-19, now goes for N13,000, while a bag of sugar now costs N24,000 as against the former price of N13,000. They said appeals to the millers and others for reduction in prices had not yielded any favourable response.
