Mr Awosanya attributed the continued rise in input costs to the hike in the prices of its products.
The letter read, “This is to inform you that we are constrained to review the prices of some of our SKUs effective from Monday, 19th February 2024.
“This review has become necessary because of the continued rising input cost and the need to mitigate the impact.
“In appreciation of our great partnership and your commitment, we will deliver at the current prices all open orders that are fully funded and created in our system before 00:00 hours on Monday, 19th February 2024.
“While thanking you for your commitment to our great partnership, be assured that we will continue to support your sales/distribution efforts as always,” it added.
