DOLLAR CRASH: Senator Wamakko Urges Trader To Commodity Prices

By Muhammad Ibrahim,Sokoto

The leader of APC in Sokoto State, Sen. Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko has called on marketers and traders in the state and the country in general to reduce the prices of goods in the markets as the US Dollar has crashed in the country,while the Nigerian Naira has gained more value.

The Senator was speaking on Tuesday at his Gawon Nama residence shortly after breaking the Ramadan fast with some Commissioners and the Academia.

The release by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to Wamakko, Bashar Abubakar said Senator explained that hitherto, the traders cried out that the Dollar had gone up against the Naira, but it has now crashed to as low as N1,200 as against the 1.Dollar to N1,700 before.

Sen. Wamakko frowned at those traders who refused to appreciate the efforts of the government by bringing down the Dollar exchange to the barest level, and have continued to increase the prices of commodities exorbitantly.

He appealed to the leadership of the traders’ association especially in Sokoto State to prevail on their members in the interest of the plight of the citizens to lower the high costs of the goods for the development of the nation.

Those at the breakfast at the residence of the Senator were the Commissioner of Tourism, Aminu Magaji Bodai, that of Religious Affairs, Dr. Jabir Sani Maihiula and his Home Affairs counterpart,Sharifu Abubakar Kamarawa among others.

Also at the breakfast were some Management staff of the North-West University Sokoto led by the Registrar, Umar Abubakar Garun Babba, among other politicians and.scores of APC loyalists.

A special prayer was offered by Sheikh Bello Buhari Siriddawa for Allah’s continued guidance and blessings in the state and the country at large.
