The governor stated this during a meeting with the business community and other stakeholders held at the Government House.

He lamented the high increase in the prices of foodstuff and other daily needs, hence the urgent need to put heads together to find a lasting solution to the economic pangs.

“The purpose of this gathering is to fine-tune modalities on how to address the menace of inflation because people are really suffering and we need to do something about this,” Yusuf said.

He said that the state government would do everything possible to provide an enabling environment to the business community.

Yusuf however urged the business community to also reciprocate through adequate payment of taxes, so that the government would generate revenue to perform optimally.

The governor expressed the desire to ensure that the state attained the position of the most attractive trade state.

“Our administration as part of its dire need to change the outlook of markets and also to enable them to compete favourably with international markets came up with policies and programmes that would enhance socioeconomic activities in all parts of the state.

“The cumulative effects of this project will be economic growth manifested in employment opportunities, job creation, and income diversification thereby reducing poverty,” he further stated.

“We are begging you the business community to please shun hoarding of foodstuff in warehouses, bring it out and sell it to the public to curtail the high increase in prices of foodstuff, especially at this moment that Ramadan is quite approaching.

“I will personally meet President Tinubu to intimate him about the hardship the people of Kano state are encountering due to inflation with a view to providing succour to the people.”
