Kano State Governor Abba
Yusuf has asked petroleum marketers to revert to the old petrol pump price to
ameliorate the hardship experienced by Kano residents.
He
described the recent hikes in the prices of premium motor spirit, also known as
petrol, as unjustified.
This
is contained in a statement by his press secretary, Bature Dawakin-Tofa, on
Thursday, NAN reports.
He
said, “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,” he added.
Mr
Yusuf also urged Kano residents to comport themselves and uphold the law.
