Bread makers and Gurasa bakers Association of Kano State have threatened to embark on indefinite strike if IRS, BUA, Super and Golden Confectionery fail to reverse the price of flour.
This is coming barely one week after they called off a three-day warning strike.
A statement by the association’s chairperson, Fatima Auwalu, said theh had decided to embarked on indefinite strike, because nothing has changed since they called off the warning strike.
Auwalu said all Gurasa bakers in the state are counting losses due to the recurring increase in the price of flour, which is the major ingredient for making one of the local staple foods.
She said price of flour which used to be N9,500 is now N16,200, calling on the companies to reverse the price to N9,000 or shut down the business.
“We normally use IRS flour, BUA, Golden Confectionery and Super Flour. But we are in a difficult situation because our business has become the shadow of its former self due to the hike in the price of flour,” she said.
