The Kano State Shariah Commission has urged perishable commodity sellers in Yankaba and other markets not to hike their prices during the Ramadan fasting.
Bashir Tijjani, the Chairman of the Commission, said this on Wednesday during a sensitisation visit to perishable commodity markets at Yankaba, Nasarawa Local Government in Kano.
According to Tijjani, the commission is conducting sensisation visits to four major markets in the state to let sellers of perishable commodity know the huge benefits attached to selling at cheaper prices during the Ramadan fasting.
Tijani said that there is usually great blessings for those who sell their goods at cheaper prices during the Ramadan fasting.
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.
