Food vendors on Tuesday took advantage of the barricade of the National Assembly entrance by security operatives to make brisk business. Newsmen, the assembly workers and other Nigerians, who were barred from entering the assembly complex, resorted to the vendors for food as they waited at the entrance. The lawmakers were later, at about 9am, allowed into the premises, but newsmen, assembly workers, including Clerk of the National Assembly, Alhaji Mohammed Sani-Omolorin, and other Nigerians, continued to be barred from entry. One of the vendors, Mrs Hauwa Ismaila, said that the development at the assembly entrance was unusual, but had however, increased her sales. My food is almost finished.’’Another vendor, who pleaded anonymity, said “my buns is finished.
