Few days to the 2016 Ed-El-Kabir celebration, prices of various sizes of rams have gone up astronomically across Nigerian states such as Abuja, Lagos, Ibadan and other parts.
Isiaka Idris from Kano State, who is chairman of Federal Housing Ram Sellers Association, said although people were complaining and crying that there was no money, what they needed to know was that the sellers did not steal the rams.
Idris gave three reasons the prices are on the high side this year.
According to him, ram dealers from Niger Republic, who used to supply rams, would not be able to do so this year owing to the closure of the border following the current battle against insurgents.
He stated that a sack of ram feed that used to sell for N2, 000 has now increased to N5,000.
Another factor, which also affected the price, according to him, has to do with the increase in transportation fare.
He urged the Federal Government to ensure that salaries of workers were paid before the Sallah day to enable people have a hitch-free celebration and also for sales to improve.
