According to a report by SaharaReporters, the destitute in Sokoto State have also cried out over the naira notes scarcity.
The beggars, who rely on begging for survival have lamented how the Naira redesign policy has impacted their business line. Visits by SaharaReporters to various joints where these beggars always assembled show that most of them have been stranded and complained of low patronage.
An impoverished woman seen in Sokoto’s Hajia Halima Market told SaharaReporters that she had hardly seen anyone to donate cash to her because of the scarcity of Naira notes, which has been devastating to Nigerians in recent times.
“The problem is that people are struggling to get cash to give us and that is why we (the beggars) will sit down for days without anybody giving us money. “Many days, I slept without food with my children,” the mother of three lamented.
