The Master Bakers Association, Sokoto State branch has concluded plans to embark on a three-day warning strike effective from Monday, August 24, to increase the price of bread.
A member of the state executive council of the association who spoke with our correspondent on condition of anonymity disclosed that the association is ready for the warning strike.
“Our members throughout the state have been informed to embark on the strike in order to create awareness for the impending increase in the price of bread in the state.
“The strike is just meant to prepare the minds of our numerous customers in the state of our decision.
“The increment has become necessary due to the increase in the price of our raw materials in the state.
“You will recall that the last time we embarked on any increment in the price of bread is more than three years now.
“In between then and now, a lot has changed in the market with the constant increase in the price of sugar, flour, butter among others.
“We have no choice than to appeal to the customers in the state for their understanding. For us to remain in the market, the little adjustment in the price will be implemented,” he said.
Meanwhile, Tribune Online gathered that the increment being proposed by the Sokoto bakers is in between 50 and 100 naira for the consumers.
