In the photo which he shared on Twitter, several loaves of bread are seen in a pile inside a tricycle popularly known as Keke.

However, what makes the photo disturbing is the fact that most of the loaves are not packaged in nylon or even paper bag but kept bare and exposed to any bacterial or dirt.

Meanwhile, amid the coronavirus pandemic ravaging the country, Lagos state bakers have warned that the price of bread may go up by 60% unless the Nigerian government intervenes.

The Lagos bakers said the price would go up if the government doesn’t stop the rising prices of baking materials due to the pandemic, The Guardian reports.

The group appealed to both federal and state governments to step in immediately and arrest the situation for everyone’s benefit as the high cost of baking ingredients is killing their businesses.

In other news, Nigerian farmers and stakeholders in the agro-sector, have warned that the country is in danger of food shortage as the COVID-19 pandemic hits hard on farmers and the agricultural sector.
