Sallah: Tailors count losses amidst lockdown
Tailors in Kaduna have been lamenting a lull in business activities, with barely three days to Eid -el-Fitr .
A tailor at Unguan Mu’azu, Auwal Muhammad, lamented that the lockdown had disrupted his businesses, stating that people were battling to feed their families and not bothering to buy Sallah clothes. “The story is different this time as you can see my shop is virtually empty, except for a few people that had bought the materials before the lockdown,” he said.Musa Bashir, a tailor at Barnawa, Kaduna, however, said he had not expected to get any sewing for Sallah during the lockdown, but the patronage he got was fair because people had brought materials for sewing prior to the lockdown.
Another tailor, Murtala Zubair of Kawo, Kaduna, said he now sew from home because he could not afford settling the monthly rent of his shop because of the low patronage caused by the coronavirus lockdown.
