 Hike In Flour Price: ā€˜Gurasa’ Sellers Down Tools In Kano


Manufacturers of ā€˜Gurasa’ – a local bread in Kano down tools on Friday over hike in the price of flour.


According to the leader of the Gurasa Manufacturers Association, Fatima Auwal Chediyar Yan Gurasa, they chose to embark on an indefinite strike until the market becomes favourable.


She said, ā€œThe 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?ā€


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.


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


ā€œThe 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.


ā€œMost 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.ā€
