Some butchers in Dutse, Jigawa State, have expressed concern over rising transportation fares, saying the development may affect the cost of slaughter and meat processing services during the Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
They said the trend would negatively affect the operations of slaughter slabs and mobile services.
A cross-section of the butchers stated this in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria on Thursday in Dutse.
A NAN check at the Dutse abattoir showed that the cost of animal slaughter and meat processing had increased by about 200 per cent compared to the previous festive season.
