Chairman Southwest zone of the Association, Alhaji Abidu Salauden Abolusondun,
said the exorbitant cost of raw materials in the production of bread is
alarming. He noted that cost of items like flour and other materials for the
production of bread has over the roof.
Abolusondun pointed out that unless government intervenes in control of
the prices of raw materials for the production of bread, cost of the staple for
in most homes in the country would soon go beyond the reach of most Nigerians.
The AMBCN boss also disclosed that the high cost of bread is gradually
forcing Nigerians to abandon the product. He also said this challenge can be brought
under control if government and other stakeholders can render support in terms
of finance, regulating the price of raw materials for the production of bread
and free license to importers.
Abolusondun said bakers companies are second largest industry for employment
in Nigeria and that with the right price for these products, bakers can reduce
the rate of unemployment in the country if they remain in the business.
AMBCN Southwest zone Chairman also promised to reduce the price of bread
and make it cheap and affordable to the final consumers if federal government intercedes
to bring down the cost of raw material for bread production.
