Easter: Prices of foodstuff skyrocket in Enugu major markets

A market survey conducted by a NAN correspondent on Saturday in Enugu markets revealed that prices of food items had increased when compared to about a month ago.

Some foodstuff sellers attributed the price increase to Easter celebration and off-season period of some of the edible commodities.

The price of a big basket of tomatoes now sells for between N29,000 and N35,000 as against N22,000 and N25,000 in February.
