Bread Makers To Embark On Four Days Warning Strike | READ FULL DETAILS
Premium Bread makers Association of Nigeria (PBAN), says it will embark on a four day warning strike from Thursday, July 21, 2022.
According to the Association, the strike became necessary owing to the hike in prices of baking materials in the market.
The bakers through their President, Emmanuel Onuorah and Public & Industrial Relations Officer, Babalola called on the Federal government of Nigeria, to stop charging 15% Wheat development levy on wheat import, lamenting that it has become nearly impossible to operate bakeries in the country.
They also charged the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), to review downwards the N154,000 penalty charged bakeries on late renewal of certificates.
Other reliefs the bakers are seeking include;
stoppage of multi-agencies regulation of the bread making industry, the Central Bank of Nigeria granting them grants and soft loans under Minor, Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (MSMEs).
