The staple food bread that is consumed by all classes of residents in Kubwa, may soon vanish from the dinner table as its price has increased by N50 to N100 for a standard family loaf.
According Peace Okhuasogie, the manager of Nextar Bakery, said the recent increase in the price of bread has affected bakers’ production level negatively nationwide. The increase is because most bakeries in the FCT have been forced to close down. “And the ones that are not closed down are struggling to continue production.”
Ms Okhuasogie, however, appealed to the government and other private sector stakeholders to intervene urgently in the sector which she said: “is about to collapse”.
