No sugar scarcity, production not reduced, says FG

The Federal Government on Wednesday refuted claims of imminent sugar scarcity in Nigeria.

FG further stressed that there was also no reduction in the production of the commodity.

It warned operators in the sector to desist from making unnecessary propaganda capable of distorting the progress recorded in Nigeria’s sugar production industry.

BUA had also accused Dangote Sugar of halting sales of the product in a bid to create scarcity and force prices to go up.
