Residents of Asaba, the Delta State capital, have described the current economic situation as unbearable, calling on the authorities to urgently intervene and save the poor masses.
Christopher Nwabiani, a resident who spoke with our correspondent, lamented that despite the cut throat price of fuel, the commodity was not available.
As we speak now in my area that is DLA, Jesus Saves and Ibusa Road axis of the town, we have not seen electricity supply for five days. Yet they have increased the tariff for such essential service. They have increased the tariff and expect the people to continue to pay for darkness. The little food that our family income can afford has gone bad because we could not preserve it as a result of power outage. We have since packed up the family’s power generating set as a result of the high cost of fuel.”
A female respondent, Becky Jideofor said as a house wife, she has applied all the known methods to reasonably cut down costs, yet she is overwhelmed by market forces as food prices have continued to soar.
