The photograph shows the receipt that I bought the 3kg of gas
At the time of filling this report, citizens of the area were pleading with the government to look into the issue because life with good economic growth is nothing, as they are facing difficulties Cook if not firewood which also is scarce. ,They also pleaded with the gas vendors to also reduce price when they bring it to the area.
The high price of garri and rice is a problem people are facing so I was forced to ask about the current price of Garri and rice which is the major food for the people living there. So when I reach the shop, I tried to ask of prices of iterms one after the other to be sure of current price of these two major food that people can not stay a day without making use of it (Garri and Rice)

Through the owner of the shop I discovered that garri is 1 cup # 100 naira in my local currency and rice is # 280 naira per cup, when I asked the shop owner why it is like this, he also complain of high rate of transportation, he futher said there's no how things will come down because everyone are facing this challenge of transportation.
And when you buy for retail, price most be add to at least have a little gain.
Apart from these two major food iterms that price kick up, others are, Bean, Maggi, Egg, washing soap, etc
This report is for future reference and i promise the people of the area to remain calmed that government will soon address their plight.
