The Zamfara State chapter of the Master Bakers Association, MBA, has begun a strike action over the State Government's ban on motorcycles carrying breads.

It, therefore, ordered its members to stop the production of bread.

The State Government had recently banned any motorcycle carrying loaves of bread, saying that they were supplying the bread to bandits operating in the State.The Association has since refuted the claim.

Speaking to newsmen in Gusau, the State Financial Secretary of the Association, Mallam Habibu, explained that the union would not resume the production of bread until it settled the matter with the State Government.

“We have been holding a series of meetings with the State Government to resolve the issue. I am very much sure that very soon the issue will be resolved,” he added.
