The Zamfara State Government has issued a clarification, stating that it has not imposed a ban on bread production within the state.
Governor Dauda Lawal emphasized that the government’s directive specifically targets disrupting the supply chain to bandits operating across the state.
This clarification comes in response to the recent decision by the Bakers’ Association in Zamfara State to suspend bread production following the government’s restriction on motorcycles delivering bread.
In a statement released by the spokesperson of the Zamfara Governor, Sulaiman Bala Idris, in Gusau on Wednesday, it was explained that the restriction on bread and fuel supply to volatile areas was implemented as part of efforts to counter the activities of bandits terrorizing the state.
“The Zamfara State Government has no intention of interfering with bread production or sales, a staple food item for many households.
