  Machine owners in Kano have called for an immediate reduction in the prices of spare parts, citing the significant drop in the value of the US dollar.  According to Rabiu Aliyu Kiru, a machine owner and BDC Consultant, the constant monthly price increases by spare parts sellers are unjustified, especially given the recent decline in the dollar's value from N1,400 to N1,195.
