Call for the establishment of a price control and monitoring committee as amended by the Constitution and the provision of other conditions that will increase the ease of doing business in the country.
The Association of Master Bakers and Caterers of Nigeria has announced that it is set to embark on a nationwide strike on Tuesday, February 27.
In a statement on Monday announcing the strike, AMBCON national president Mansur Umar said that unless the Federal Government honors the agreement reached with the association in 2020, the strike would begin.
He also called for the temporary suspension of all types of taxation on the bakery industry at the federal, state and local levels.
“The Association of Master Bakers and Caterers of Nigeria have critically accessed the state of our business operation, consequently demand the liberalisation of flour and sugar importation, reduction or total removal of import duties on major baking materials such as flour, sugar, butter, yeast, etc as applicable to other commodities as have recently been done by the Federal Government and provision of concessionary forex exchange to flour millers and other stakeholders as well as reduction of tariff on imported wheat and sugar,” it said.
It also calls for the establishment of a price control and monitoring committee as allowed by the amended constitution and other provisions that will make it easier to do business in the country.
