Kaduna residents are complaining about an exacerbating hunger situation as they are confined to their homes following the commencement of protests across the state.<\/p>\n

Many of them expressed their desire to go about their normal businesses for as long as the protest lasts, saying they feed their families from their daily businesses.<\/p>\n

Several residents who spoke to DAILY POST in Kaduna on Thursday said staying indoors complicates their challenges.<\/p>\n

A resident of Kakuri, widow and food vendor Alice Agama, said she sells cooked food to feed her five children.<\/p>\n

Staying indoors today means her children have to stay hungry throughout the day, she lamented.<\/p>\n

\u201cI planned to cook early this morning and try to sell, but I came to understand that my customers are not coming out because of protests. It\u2019s from what I sell that I use the profits to feed my children,\u201d she wailed.<\/p>\n

Also, Mallam Shuabu, a wear hawker from Ungwar Television, said he cannot go out today for fear of the unknown as the protest commences.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom what I sell, I buy drugs for my ailing wife and feed my two children. But, since there is protest, I cannot move anywhere,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr John Alabama, a pharmacist whose shops are located in Kaduna Central Market, said his shops remain closed because of the protest.<\/p>\n

According to him, he realises over N20,000 every day from sales of drugs and uses part of the money to buy foodstuffs and distribute them to the less privileged.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have an orphanage home in Mararaban Kajuru, where I send foodstuff and drinks every day, and even use my drugs to treat the orphans when they are sick. But since the protest commenced today, I cannot open my shop. How to feed these orphans is an issue for me now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, youths between the ages of 12 and 35 are standing holding a banner with inscriptions such as \u201cTinubu, enough is enough,\u201d \u201cBring back our fuel subsidy,\u201d \u201cWe are hungry,\u201d \u201cNo food, no work,\u201d and \u201cThere is hunger in the land.\u201d<\/p>\n
