The Amalgamated Union of Foodstuff and Cattle Dealers of Nigeria has issued a 7-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to address the issue of security challenges across the country or stop supply of foodstuff nationwide.
The traders in a letter addressed to President Muhammadu Buhari and made available to LEADERSHIP on Friday threatened to stop supply of foodstuff if the government fails to address the insecurity problem.
The traders also urged the federal government to pay compensation to victims of insecurity across the country.
“The Federal Government of Nigeria under your able leadership should immediately revisit our demands written at various times to address the be-devilling issues which include but not limited to the payment of compensation for lives and property lost”, the traders said.
