It’s officially the end of the festive season and business is expected to return to normalcy. However, it appears that not many are in the mood to return to the hustle and bustle.
Many business owners say this has contributed to the slow sales and low patronage of services.
A banker said the day has been very slow, with very few people visiting the bank to conduct various business transactions.
“As I am talking to you right now, we are just sitting there idle. None of the customers are even coming. I am sure no money in the system again. Majority of them have finished chopping their money so maybe they are now coming to work to get some money to enjoy,” he said.
He explained this was the first working day, so it was expected to be very slow. However, in a week, Monday, December 8, banking transactions according to him will probably return to normal.
“Beginning of the month like this, it is not easy for customers to come for a loan because you plan for a loan for a purpose, so for you just come for a loan just to manage your days. I think it is not easy for any customer. So we are just waiting for them. Roughly maybe from Monday,” he said.
A teacher said that although the classes have begun, most of the students have yet to resume.
“It is being good so far, though it has not been active as it used to be because I facilitate adult learners and most of them are yet to return from their break so far, it is being good,” she said.
Meanwhile, she hopes that more individuals come to enroll to learn because that is her source of livelihood.
