The Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, on Monday night, urged petroleum marketers to reinstate the previous prices for petroleum goods to cushion the current hardship experienced by the general public.
In a press statement, the governor’s spokesman, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, said the governor is aware that the marketers still had old products in stock that were supposed to be sold at the previous price.
“To reduce the needless hardship on the state’s citizens, the marketers should exercise some restraint and quickly reopen all filling stations, with available products in stock to sell at the former price.
“As a concerned governor, I am disheartened to see our dear people of Kano suffering as a result of an unjustifiable fuel hike, and the situation must be stopped right away,” the governor said.
Kano, according to Yusuf, is the commercial hub of the country’s northern region, as well as certain countries in West Africa, and its bustling populace continues to enjoy favourable business conditions.
The governor urged the good citizens of Kano State to maintain their composure and uphold the law because the government is prepared to make sure that people are carrying out their day-to-day affairs conveniently.
