Following the Kogi State Government’ decision to move bread sellers from the road, the Association of Bakers in the state has appealed to the government to reconsider its decision.<\/span><\/p>\n Roadside sellers were ordered to relocate their selling points away from the major roads within the state capital.<\/span><\/p>\n The Chairman of the Association, Gabriel Adeniyi in a statement begged the government not to chase the bread sellers the Lokoja metropolis away.<\/span><\/p>\n The Chairman urged the government to allow bread sellers to remain at their selling points as their operations would not in any way affect its policy.<\/span><\/p>\n Adeniyi hinted that since their products \u201care staple food and travellers usually patronise bread for consumption, it is expedient that the services of bread sellers are available.<\/span><\/p>\n He explained that his plea to the government was necessitated due to the \u201crecent happening which shows that security men were deployed in strategic areas like Ganaja and Nataco-Seriki Noman, Lokoja, where bread sellers were chased away.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n He said, \u201cThe buyers of our products are majorly travellers and Ganaja junction, as well as Nataco\/seriki noma, where bread sellers are found populated, are affected by government\u2019s decision.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe appeal to the state government to relax its decision as it will have a severe burden on bakers who are presently facing economic hardship before production.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"..
