The National Executive of Supreme Bakers and Confectioners Association of Nigeria has distanced itself from any nationwide strike as proposed by some other baker’s associations in the country.
Acting National President of the association, Comrade Edmund Egbuji disclosed this in a statement on Monday in Abuja.
He said that the supreme bakers deemed it unpatriotic to embark on such an action at this time of food insecurity and difficulties in the country.
“Embarking on strike is not an option, rather the government through its relevant ministries should call for a round table discussion to cushion the effects of food scarcity.
“All members of the supreme bakers are hereby directed to go about their business of feeding the nation as any contrary action will add to the pains of the overstretched citizens,’’ he said.
Meanwhile, another association, the Association of Master Bakers and Caterers of Nigeria had directed its members to embark on a nationwide strike from February 27, should the Federal government fail to implement the agreement it entered into with the association in 2020
