Description

The people of Anegbette Community in the Etsako Central Local Government Area of Edo State have resorted to trade by barter as the naira scarcity continues to force Nigerians into frustration and poverty.

According to a video seen by SaharaReporters, the community, frustrated and impoverished by the Naira scarcity orchestrated by the Naira redesign and cashless policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), reached an agreement earlier this week to survive through trade by barter where those who need plantain bring fish or yams in exchange for plantain.

A member of the community who did not reveal his identity in the video footage said, “This is trade by barter taking place right now in my hometown, Anegbette in Etsako Central, Edo State.
