The flood submerged major markets including grain, fruit and vegetable depots in the town, while many shopping complexes and plazas remain closed.
The development had led to a shortage of food items making the prices of the few available ones high.
The City’s health sector has also been affected as a result of the flood that submerged the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital and Maiduguri Specialist Hospital.
