A joint press conference organized by the Kano Unity Forum in Kano called on pharmaceutical traders of the Sabo Gari market to comply with the Kano state government directives as affirmed by the court to immediately relocate to the new pharmaceutical market in the Kano Economic City.
Alhaji Gidado Muktar who led the conference on behalf of other forums said, “We wish to assure all and sundry that Kano as a cosmopolitan city, will continue to remain hospitable and welcoming to all and we will not allow anyone to perpetrate any activities inimical to the well-being of our people,” he explained.
According to him, “ Kano state government had established the market through Public Private Partnership (PPA) arrangement to ensure proper regulations, control, and monitoring of illegal activities within the state.
He however, said, “It should be clear that over the years the Kano state has been turned into a major consumption centre and exit point of the illicit drug trade”.
We finally called on the people of our dear state to support the effort of the Kano state government to save our youth
