The Association of Table Water Producers (ATWAP) has raised the price of sachet (‘pure’) water to N300 per bag.

National President, Clementina Ativie made the announcement in a statement where the decision was unanimously reached during the ATWAP national convention in Abuja.
“There will be no extra bag or extra pieces henceforth for wholesale or retail buyers,” she said.
The President added that the cost of production had gone far beyond what they can bear.

Nothing that goes up in Nigeria is most likely to come down anymore!
