The Premium Breadmakers Association of Nigeria, PBAN, has disclosed the causes of rising prices of loaves of bread as the common staple food in the country.

PBAN said the volatility in the exchange rate has affected the prices of bread in Nigeria, adding that most of the materials in producing it are imported.

PBAN President, Emmanuel Onuorah, made this known while appearing as a guest on Arise News’ Global Business Report on Tuesday.

He added that the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia has impacted negatively on the production of bread, as both warring European neighbours are wheat suppliers to Nigeria.

“Bread is a staple. Bread is supposed to be a pick-and-grab food at any location. It’s on the table for the children,” Onuorah said.

“Bread is a spiritual product, outside of being physical because it does so much for humanity. As bakers, for us in Nigeria, it’s been tough for us.

“Some of the basic materials we use in producing our bread are imported into Nigeria, that is about almost 98 per cent and that’s the truth.”

“In a country, where you almost don’t have a strong productive base, and at that, everything is dependent on the dollar. When there is volatility in dollar-naira exchange, when (there is) FX issue where naira begins to go down against the dollar, we are in a problem,” he said.

Late last year, following the removal of fuel subsidy and other economic reforms by President Bola Tinubu, the country began to experience an increase in the prices of food and other commodities

Consequently, in December 2023, Onuorah said prices would increase by 15 per cent to 20 per cent in January 2024 across Nigeria amid economic hardship, and checks by Vanguard showed that loaves of bread in Lagos from N400 have increased to N700, N700 before now sold at N1,100, while N1,100 rose to N1,1400.

Speaking further about the significance of bread prices to Nigerians, on Tuesday, Onuorah said, “The kind of bread we eat in Nigeria, there is a way Nigerians want their bread, the structure of the bread.


“You know we’re are the highest consumers of white bread globally. When you go to other places, they take croissants, they take baguettes, and other forms of bread.

“But, our bread (in Nigeria) comes in certain shapes. It must be sweet, it must be soft, and succulent. If you don’t produce it that way, you’re out of business.”

“And this whole thing, 60 to 65 per cent of the whole thing comes from wheat, and most of our wheat comes from Ukraine, Russia, and other parts of the world,” he added.

Nigeria’s electricity grid has collapsed again, Daily Trust reports.

The grid collapsed around 2:42 am on Monday, with generation dropping to 64.70megawatt.

This is the sixth collapse in 2024.

Daily Trust reports that as of 8am on Monday, the latest data from the ISO showed that the grid is currently generating 266.50mw of electricity from Okpai, Geregu and Ibom power.

Confirming the collapse in a statement, Jos DisCo said: “The current outage being experienced within our franchise States is a result of loss of power supply from the national grid. The loss of power supply from the national grid occurred in the early hours at about 0242Hours of today, Monday, 15th April 2024, hence the loss of power supply on all our feeders.”

The company’s head of Corporate Affairs, Dr Friday Adakole Elijah, expressed hope that the grid is restored for normal power supply to its esteemed customers.

If this contract was about constructing kcoastal railway, I have no problem. However what sort of balderdash is a 15 trillion road when there's an existing road which connects all the major cities between Lagos and Calabar. Why not channel few trillions and finish up the East West road and Benin - Warri road, then use the rest to develop the coastal railway?
It's appaling that some people are trying to turn the affair to a north/south issue. If the coastal railway is built, won't northerners enjoy it too?

proeast:
Same criminal Tinubu awarded the most expensive railway line in Africa. This is the rogue destroying Nigeria but his useless, dirty and hungry supporters will be everywhere polluting the air with their stinking mouths.

Wasted generation of fools supporting an old criminal who is destroying their lives and future.

Stop masking your tears with fake emojis. There's nowhere the procurement act was breached. For enlightment sake, not all government contracts go through bidding process, not even your state government contracts. Government award contracts either through Bidding, PPP, or Counterpart funding. Next time, try cure your ignorance.
You must have read in the news where the President hosted the national leaders in Ikoyi, both the leadership of NASS and Governors Forum and after the meeting, Governor Abdulraman who is the chairman of Governors forum declared the support of the Governors for the project. Jagaban is not your mate, you're not dealing with GEJ here, even your Dubai landlord, Atiku already knows that Jagaban is way ahead.

Beremx:
I support the project as long as it favours the South. Buhari did the south dirty when it came to big projects. It's time for southern Nigeria to benefit too

soil4soil:
But all the construction from South West to Adamawa is fraud or waste.
