Members of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) have lamented lack of adequate funds to celebrate the 2023 Eid-el-Kabir.
According to the South East Zonal Chairman of MACBAN, Allahaji Gidado Sidikki, who spoke to Tribune at the Garke Market Amasea in Awka North Local Government Area of Anambra State, on Thursday, said the situation is as a result of the new naira note policy, high cost of transportation fare and multiple taxations.
He said because of the high cost of fuel, goods including cows, goats and rams coming from the Northern part are being sold at the higher rate, causing low customer patronage for members in the zone to survive.
The Chairman of Amasea Cattle Market, Allahaji Bello Magari, who also spoke to Nigerian Tribune, partially attributed the low patronage to the rainy season.
