Association of Master Bakers and Caterers of Nigeria (AMBCN) are against a levy imposed by the Kogi State Government on each bread they bake.
According to Godfirst, a member of the Association, they received a memo from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry informing them about the imposition of levies on each loaf of bread they bake.
“The letter was sent to us that a consultant has been given the job to generate fund from bakery to state government.
“We are trying to meet with the consultant, but we have not been able to meet with him. We want to meet with him to give us more explanation.
“We are not happy about it. Presently, there is no market. We are facing different types of challenges, and if they are now asking us to pay another tax, we don’t know how we can cope,” He said.
But according to the Ministry, the move is to increase the internally-generated revenue (IGR).
