Business activities flourish alongside voting during Saturday’s President and National Assembly elections in some parts of Kaduna metropolis.
A correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria monitoring developments reports that some traders, especially in Rigasa area, opened their businesses premises as usual.
NAN observed that most of the shops in the area were open, and the streets extremely busy, just as some young men were spotted playing football.
Water vendors were conducting their businesses while tricyclists were seen washing their vehicles.
By the sides of the road, many baked beans sellers were in brisk business, attending to long queues of customers.
A water vendor, Usman Bala, told NAN that he needed to make some fast money before going to exercise his franchise.
“I can make a reasonable amount of money before the voting process begins; I will go and cast my vote later”, he said.
Also, some domestic animal sellers were seen watching over their animals in anticipation of customers.
