 Hike In Flour Price: ‘Gurasa’ Sellers Down Tools In Kano

She said, “The price of the flour which is our major commodity is too high. The price of a bag of flour is now more than N40,000. What are we going to do?”


She pointed out that the majority of the manufacturers were single mothers fending for their families, but the price of flour is now threatening their capital.


“Before the people selling the flour tonus used to give us on credit and we pay after sale, but they don’t do that anymore.


“The essence of this peaceful protest is to draw the attention of authorities that we are facing serious trouble. We will soon be out of business if something is not done. Already the business is not that strong and flour is about to pin us down.


“Most people that are less privileged feed on Gurasa because they cannot afford bread so it is not us alone but the masses also who rely on us to feed.”
