Due to rising bread prices, the Kano State Complaint and Anticorruption Commission (PCACC) recently summoned flour dealers in Singer Market and the chairman of the Association Master Bakers & Caterers Of Nigeria (AMBCN).
A letter signed by PCACC Chairman Barrister Muhuyi Magaji Rimingado states, “The invitation will allow my Committee to question the millers about the continued gap between the rising price of bread and the flour price, which remains at N9k per 50kg at the farm gates.”
The letter cites Sections 9 and 15 of the Kano State Complaint And Anticorruption Commission Law 2008 (As Amended), which calls for an investigation into such matters.
The letter indicates that this issue can only be resolved if the concerns of both the flour dealers and bakers’ association are addressed.
The PCACC used Section 31 of its enabling law to formally invite these parties for a discussion.
