Some Residents within the state capital are now using Doum palm nuts while cooking
This they said was as a result of high price of Charcoal which they cannot afford due to economic crunch.
They pointed out that they were at the initial stage using fire wood for the same purpose and later resorted to cooker gas due to climate pollution as said by Environmentalists
but it did not last in view of its price which is above commoners thus as a wise word says a beggar has no choice they at last turned to Charcoal but unfortunately also failed to help matters going by the price of a sack which is skyrocketing by the day.
He added that they after all ended in using the Doum palm nuts otherwise called kwallon goruba in Hausa.
The Resident explained that it is more economicai despite the fact that it took time before it boils item
He seized the medium to call on Government to redeem it pledge of removing the tariff being placed on diesel used for cooker gas as so doing will lessen the present challenges facing households.
The Resident added that there is no way one can use Doum palm nuts when the price of the above mentioned is affordable.
Frankly speaking it is no longer news that ordinary citizens are facing tough time nowadays when preparing food as a result of the alarming price of the aforementioned items likewise the foodstuffs itself.
