Scarcity Of Bread Hits Kano As Bakers Embark On Strike by rolchi(m): 9:51am On Feb 04, 2016
No fewer than 8,000 bakers in Kano have closed down their bakeries as a result of strike over the high cost of flour in the state.

The Public Relations Officer of Master Bakers Association in the state, Malam Kabiru Hassan, told journalists on Wednesday that the members deemed it compulsory to embark on the strike due to the increase in the price of flour and other ingredients for bread production.

He said: “I can confirmed to you that there is no single bread for sale right now in Kano. We were forced into this strike because the price of flour had skyrocketed in the market.”

THISDAY gathered that the scarcity of bread had been recorded in the metropolis forcing residents into massive buying of a local delicacy known as Gurasa.

The strike by bakers has taken its toll on local tea vendors popularly known as Mai’shayi as most of them have started counting their losses.

A tea seller at the popular Ahamadu Bello Way, Malam Sunusi Hamisu, said the strike has visited untold hardship to the downtrodden that relied on their services to live.

“I can’t be convinced this isn’t a conspiracy against the common man in that our sure and cheap ways of eating once day has been rudely interrupted,” Hamisu said.

Since tym immemorial, one of the indicators of a pples economy is d availability of bread n it's price, even despite d availability of oda staple.

Nobody shud come out later n say we didn't giv buhari our support hence he failed, cos since dis administration we av endured d following:

1. Scarcity of fuel n sale of fuel for 800naira a litre in warri

2. increase in light tarrif n no substantial increase in availability of light

3. Increase in dollar n naira exchange rate

4. Charges on bank deposits

5. Insecurity

6. Health: lassa fever killing Nigerians n makin mockery of death apportioned to boko haram.

I no d list is too numerous, but we have not struck, dia av bin no strike action by any org or body, it shud be noted dat we av givving our support to dis administration n our support shud not be listed as a blame factor for dia failure which we hope does not occur.

No dia is a 50percent increase in d price of bread n still we ar calm. GMB abi PMB abeg wen d poor av notin else to eat, they won't feed on propaganda, de will feed on u, aisha, oyegun, tinubu, lai mohammed n ur likes cos even aisha's rice won't go round by den.

Thank you very much.
