Some foodstuff sellers at Hajiya Halima Market, Sokoto, Northwest Nigeria have dropped the prices of their foodstuffs due to low patronage experienced in recent times over Naira scarcity. SaharaReporters gathered that the traders, particularly rice sellers, decided to sell the staple at a low price to allow them to have access to cash so that they could meet the needs of their families. One of the traders explained to SaharaReporters why he chose to sell a bowl of rice for N1,200 rather than the market price of N1,700.
