In his remarks, Alhaji Danladi Arko, the Chairman of the perishable commodity sellers in Yankaba Market, thanked the Commission for enlightening his fellow sellers and promised that his members would reduce the prices of their commodities.

“Due to the economic challenges we are facing now, perishable items should be sold at affordable prices all the time and not only during Ramadan fasting to enable people to buy”, Arko said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the commission members visited Yan’lemo, Yankaba Market, Galadima Road, and Dawanau Markets.
