Association of Master Bakers and
Caterers of Nigeria (AMBCN), Lagos State chapter, has said it never authorised
an increase in the price of bread from the prevailing prices in the state.
The clarification came
as bread consumers in Lagos lamented recent price increases slammed on the
staple food by distributors across the state. According to the AMBCN, price of
bread should be pocket-friendly as one of the cheapest foods for the common man.
Some consumers who
spoke to Daily Sun, disclosed that the prices of bread were increased by 10 per
cent from N200 to N250 and N300 respectively, while the unsliced one popularly
known as ‘Agege bread’ moved from N100 to N120 and N150 and others from N150 to
N200 and N220 depending on the size.
But speaking with Daily
Sun, the Chairman of AMBCN, Lagos chapter, Prince Jacob Adejorin, said the
association has not in any way increased the price of bread in the state
because of cassava inclusion, as the association is still managing the
situation.
