Residents of Anambra State have raised the alarm over steady high cost of commodities in the market.
They called on state government and relevant regulatory bodies to sit up and protect the masses from arbitrary hike in cost of commodities.
Across Anambra, 1kg of gas is now between N1,450 and N1,500 as against N850 and N1,000 sold in Enugu and Delta states respectively, while cement is now between N9,500 and N10,000 against N8,000 sold in Asaba as at today.
Other commodities whose prices have also skyrocketed include pure water bags, planks of wood, as well as house rent.
According to the residents, the major concern for them is how these exploitative merchants do the increase without recourse to the condition of the people without any form of questioning from government
