Eid - el - kabir: Buyers complain about high prices of ram in Abuja
Some buyers of ram in the Federal Capital Territory are groaning about the “high prices’’ of the sacrificial animal in major markets as the Eid-el-Kabir celebration draws nearer. The Eid-el-Kabir is an annual Islamic festival of ram sacrifice practised by Muslims globally. The prices of small, average and big rams at both markets ranged between N35,000, N60,000 and N100,000.
Some of the buyers expressed dissatisfaction with the high cost of the rams in the markets. At Dei-dei market, a buyer, who identified himself as Malam Isah Nanono, attributed the situation to the prevailing economic challenges in the country. Nanono said that he came to purchase a big ram but ended up with a small one because he couldn’t afford his choice due to its high price. Another prospective buyer, Mr Rilwanu Isa, said that he could not believe what he was asked to pay for an average sized ram.
