With bakers on strike, bread is scarce in northern Nigeria's main city, Kano. Long queues have formed at the few bakeries which are open.
The Kano State Bakers Association says many bakeries are running at a loss because of the rising costs, and the strike is intended to draw attention to their plight.
"The price of all the ingredients including flour, sugar have increase by more than 20% in the last three month as a result of foreign currency fall Nigeria is facing," said its spokesman Kabiru Hasan.
