The Governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, has ordered petroleum marketers in the state to revert to the old petrol pump price with immediate effect.
In a statement by his press secretary, Bature Dawakin-Tofa, on Thursday, June 1, the governor explained that hike in pump price is ‘unjustified and must be stopped right away.’
According to him, “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 s¥ffering as a result of an unjustified fuel hike, and the situation must be stopped right away.”
