Yam dealers in Obollo-Afor, Enugu State, are facing significant losses due to the ongoing scarcity of the Nigerian currency, the Naira. The traders, predominantly from Gboko, Oshongo, and Egede in Benue State, are struggling to make sales as a result of the shortage of Naira. The decline in yam sales can be attributed to the refusal of sellers to accept money transfers from buyers. Dealers like Nguembe explained that they primarily purchase yam tubers from farms in Oshongo, where cash transfers are not commonly used. As a result, their sales have been minimal, with Josephine stating that potential buyers often turn away upon learning that cash transfers are not accepted. The difficulties are compounded by challenges in accessing funds from banks, as they have imposed limits on cash withdrawals. The additional charges imposed by POS operators for cash withdrawals further exacerbate the situation. Frustrated buyers are calling on the government to intervene and enforce the acceptance of cash transfers. The scarcity of Naira notes has noticeably affected business activities at the market, with the observation that cash payments result in cheaper prices for the commodity.
