HABBA MANA!!! Pure Water Sellers Protest Hike in Price in Abuja Due to Dollar Scarcity. lol

Sellers of sachet water popularly known as ‘’Pure Water’’ Thursday took to the streets of Kubwa village environ protesting the increase of the cost price of the product. The protesters lamented that a bag of the product which usually contains 20 sachets and which was initially sold for N100 (Naira), now goes for N150 as the wholesalers attributed the increased cost to the scarcity of Dollars and the resultant depreciation of the Naira. They further argued that if the situation was not addressed urgently, they could be out of business. A protester, Yusuf lamented that the product, which hitherto sold for N100 per bag, now sells between N140 and N150. He said they witnessed low patronage in the past weeks. “Now that we sell at N15 and N20, people who drank five or more sachets have reduced their patronage, unlike when we sold at N10 per sachet. Lamenting that it was unbearable for them to sell at the new price and still make profit, some of the protesters interviewed threatened to increase the price per sachet from N10 to N20 if nothing was done by the authorities to reverse the trend.
