Kogi State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Fanwo, has said the government imposed levy on every loaf of bread sold in the state in order to protect indigenous bakers from those “who bring bread to the state without paying any form of levy”.

The state chapter of the Association of Master Bakers and Caterers of Nigeria had said it received a memo from the state’s ministry of commerce imposing a levy “on each loaf of bread”. AMBCN had said the move would bring unbearable pains on its members. “No responsible government will sit by and watch her indigenous businesses lose the local market. Our indigenous bakers have complained bitterly about the activities of external bakers who packed their bread to the state in trucks and sell without paying anything to the state government.

Inefficiency at it's peak!!!

This guy seems to be in a competition to win worst governor.

No creativity at all. No single creative way of generating IGR through state development. All they know is imposing different levies on start-ups and stables

👆 This is precisely what you get when you 'elect' lunatic to run your asylum.

We want to start fixing Nigeria. Please let this kogi people go and join congo then come back when they decide to get a better governor.
