Residents of Kaduna State have expressed concern over their inability to provide three square meals for their families due to the prevailing economic situation in the country. Some residents, who spoke to newsmen, stated that they had cut down their feeding routines due to hyperinflation and ongoing increases in food prices.
Fatima Idris, a housewife, said her husband had instructed her to cook twice a day, which are only breakfast and dinner. “My husband is a monthly earner with less than N100,000 salary; a few years ago, he used to buy rice, beans, noodles, and spaghetti for the family, but now he can’t afford them,” she said.
Muhammed Bello, another resident, stated that he embarked on a two-day voluntary fasting to gain a reward and also reduce the cost of feeding. Adamu Mairiga, a civil servant, said he tries as much as possible to provide three square meals for his family by sacrificing some of his needs.
