Jigawa Butchers Plan Slaughter Fee Increase for Eid-el-Kabir

Butchers in Jigawa State, Nigeria, have increased slaughter fees ahead of the Eid-el-Kabir festival, leading families to adopt cow-sharing strategies to manage rising meat prices. This affects local consumers who rely on affordable meat during the religious celebration and could influence market dynamics in the region. The fee hike reflects broader cost pressures on meat supply during a key cultural event.
