Another petty trader, identified as Adams who sells at the Katsina Hajj Camp Roundabout said;
“I have spent over a decade in a fruit-selling business in this area, but the situation is different from the day one of the protest till today, Sunday. All we see is low patronage and I’m afraid that even to feed my family will be hard. I urge the Federal Government to support us with soft loans or grants to address inflation and economic hardship.”
