Producers of sachet water in Effurun, Jeddo and Warri in Delta State, have embarked on a three-day strike which commenced on Friday, 15th March 2024.
They claimed that the strike became imperative “as the cost of production continues to bite harder on small business owners across the country.”
This was contained in a statement signed by the coordinator of producers of sachet water in the said areas, Cletus Ebohon, which was made available to journalists in Warri on Friday.
According to the statement, the price of a bag of sachet water would now sell for N450, unlike the previous N350, with effect from Monday, March 18, 2024.
One significant directive also outlined in the statement is the enforcement of a clean-up exercise within the premises of the producers during the three-day strike period. Failure to adhere to this directive would result in sanctions, as indicated by the statement.
