From tomorrow (Saturday), Lagos
residents will start paying more for cassava bread, as the price of the
commodity has officially been hiked by 20 per cent.
The Standards Organisation of Nigeria
has said that on the same date, it will commence the enforcement of
the
Mandatory Conformity Assessment Programme, which is geared towards
making bakers and caterers in the country comply with acceptable
standards in their operations.
The Chairman, Association of Master
Bakers and caterers of Nigeria, Lagos State Chapter, Jacob Adejorin; and
the Director-General of SON, Dr. Joseph Odumodu, confirmed the
developments at a forum in Lagos.
Adejorin said so far, members of the
Lagos State chapter of AMBCN had refrained from joining their
counterparts in other states, who had increased the price of bread
sequel to the recent rise in the prices of flour and other ingredients
used in making bread.
He said the decision by the association
to increase the price of bread was inevitable, if consumers must be
served truly nourishing loaves.
