Abba Yusuf , the governor of Kano State, has directed the state's petroleum marketers to immediately return to the original gas pump price.
The governor noted that the increase in pump prices is "unjustified and must be stopped right away" in a statement released on Thursday, June 1.
“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 said.
