…Prices skyrocket in Jigawa

Just days to the Eid el-Kabir celebrations, the prices of rams have shot up at all major markets in Jigawa state.

According to the market survey conducted by our correspondent recently in the state revealed that the prices of Rams in the last one to two weeks ago were moderate due to little demand from the people.

The surveys carried out in Laraba, Suwarin, Kiyawa and Birninkudu markets showed how the prices of the animals have skyrocketed.

Speaking to our reporter in Suwarin market yesterday, one Alhaji Dahiru Suleimen Daka decried the sudden hike in prices of rams, saying “I bought one last week at N25, 000, but this week the ram cost between N38, 000 and N40, 000.”

Also, Comrade Ahmed Abubakar, who bought a ram for N48, 000 last week at the Suwarin market, was surprised at the hike in prices this week, “with the same ram costing between N58, 000 and N65, 000.”
