It wants the board to be tasked with the responsibility of regulating prices and preventing hoarding of goods. This is contained in a statement by the National President of the association, Akinteye Afeez, issued to newsmen on Thursday in Lagos.
Afeez said that in recent times, the steady increase in the prices of goods and services across the country had been worrisome.
According to him, while the rise in exchange rates has been cited as a contributing factor, the association wants to know why the prices of locally produced goods are also on the rise when materials used in their production are sourced locally.
