Butchers announce increase in price of meat

Wahalur! The National Butchers Association, Oyo State chapter has announced an increase in the price of meat, effective Monday (today)

This, the association attributed to the high cost of transportation and other rising running costs.

Chairman of the association in the state, Mr Wahab Olayiwola made this known during a prayer session at the Agodi Gate prayer ground, Ibadan.

He noted that the butchers was not immune from inflation and the rise in prices of remaining in business, resulting in the latest increase.

He urged residents of the state to bear with the development, saying they were boxed to the corner to announce the increase.

To this end, he sought the government to give the butchers soft loans and provide the enabling environment for them to sell at cheaper prices.

Speaking in the same vein, the Southwest Coordinator of the butchers, Mr Biliaminu Elesinmeta said the association believed in prayers hence its resort to praying for God’s intervention in the present state of the nation, which they described as tough.
