Yam sellers in Nigeria are urging the federal government to intervene and curb the rising prices of yam, which have significantly impacted sales and patronage.
Sellers report that the high cost of living is driving customers away, leading to decreased sales compared to previous years. They emphasize the urgent need for government action to stabilize prices and support the agricultural sector amidst ongoing economic challenges.
