A report by Vanguard has detailed how artisans are the latest scarce commodity in town because the majority of them have joined the Point of Sale business.
“However, the reason is not far-fetched. The economy is telling, and there is no commensurable earning power to cushion the effects. “Few years back, as a hairdresser, people booked appointments for me to do their hair. I might not even open the shop for a week, yet at the end of the day, I would still not be able to feed my family. the bulk of the money they’ll spend goes to hair attachments and other accessories. When it comes to labour, they pay peanuts and expect you to understand.
“I thank God I took that step. There is nothing for artisans anymore as food and money are the basic necessities of every family; other things are just liabilities,” he said.
