The Kano state governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has called on petroleum marketers in the state, to revert back to the previous prices of petroleum products, to lessen the current hardship experienced by the general public.
The governor said he is aware that the marketers still had old products in stock that were supposed to be sold at the previous pricing.
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 unjustified fuel hike, and the situation must be stopped right away,” the governor said.
According to governor, Kano is the commercial hub for the country’s northern region as well as certain countries in West Africa, and its bustling populace continues to enjoy favorable business conditions.
The Governor urged the good citizens of Kano state to maintain their composure and uphold the law because the government is always prepared to make sure that people are doing their affairs conveniently.
