The President,
National Association of Nigerian Traders Ken Ukaoha, says the country
will lose more than 140 billion naira due to the postponement of the general
elections.
Ukaoha said in Abuja
on Saturday that the postponement would affect the trading sector adversely. He
added that many traders did not open their shops due to the election.
He noted that the
postponement would affect the economy adversely in terms of money that the
government, political parties and ordinary Nigerians had already expended on
logistics and otherwise.
According to Ukaoha,
the government would have spent the money to address issues such as
infrastructure, health, education and payment of workers’ salaries.
He however, advised
traders and farmers to ensure that they voted on Saturday as the future of the
country depended on them as well as other Nigerians.
