UNION REVEALS WHY FOODSTUFF PRICES WILL KEEP INCREASING

The Amalgamated Union of Foodstuff and Cattle Dealers of Nigeria (AUFCDN) has said that the prices of foodstuffs would keep increasing if the increasing multiple taxation on their produce is not reviewed by the government.

It was reported that the union said this at its 1st Quadrennial National Conference in Abuja on Sunday, July 1. The union also urged the various tiers of government and security agencies to ride the nation’s highway of touts.

According to the union, in the name of generating revenue, the touts have continued to subject its members to subject its members to “criminal activities and robbery” as they move their goods from one part of the country to the other.
