The Emir of Birnin Gwari in Kaduna state, Malam Zubairu Maigwari, has urged traders not to hike the cost of their commodities as the Ramadan fasting approaches.
Maigwari made the call in an interview with journalists on Sunday in Kaduna.
“Marketers should reason with the common man and reduce the cost of their goods, especially food items, to enable people to afford the costs.
“As the Holy Month of Ramadan approaches, traders should feel the pains of the common man, cut down costs of food items so that they will receive Allah’s blessings in their businesses,’’ the royal father said.
