From Ali Muhammad (Rabiu)
Ram sellers in Kwara state have expressed worry over low patronage by customers ahead of the forth coming Eid-eil-Kabir celebrations.
When Radio Nigerian went round the usual ram markets in Ilorin metropolis and environs, it was discovered that the ram sellers are not many.
Speaking with Radio Nigeria Correspondent, a ram seller, Babatunde Abdulsalam-Alagbo said the situation was worrisome.
He attributed the low patronage to the economic situation in the country.
According to him, ram now sells between #35,000, #60,000 ,#70,000 and #350,000 depending on their sizes.
He said the prices are a little bit higher compared to what was sold last year.
Abdulsalam Alagbo expressed confidence that the situation would change for better, following federal government intervention in economy as well as the security situations in the country.
Also speaking, a customer at the ram market in Ilorin, Mallam Sulaiman Jamiu said the prices were beyond the reach of common man.
