“We are suffering, no fuel, no power, no
money,” hundreds of Kano residents
chanted on Saturday as they welcomed
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on a state
visit.
The residents in Sabon Gari town were
seen carrying placards with different
inscriptions lamenting the current
economic situation in one of Nigeria’s
largest city.
Mr. Osinbajo, who visited the Sabon Gari
market recently gutted by fire, also
inspected some roads under construction
while the residents continued their
chants.
He told the protesters that the
government was aware of their sufferings
and had rolled out several policies to
cushion the effects.
He also pledged that the federal
government will assist the victims of the
market fire which razed over 3,800 shops.
“We will make sure that we provide and
support you with what we have to ensure
that people do not suffer.
“I am here to bring greetings from
President Muhammadu Buhari and to tell
you that he is with you and standing with
you even at this trying moment,” he said.
He said the Federal Government will
support the state government to rebuild
the market to a modern one.
The Vice president commended the state
government for steps it had taken so far
to ensure that the victims were relocated
and continued their businesses.
Earlier in his remarks, Governor Abdullahi
Ganduje said the state government had
identified 7,000 shops and paid N70
million as one year rent for the petty
traders to enable them resume business
activities.
“The state government is also renovating
access roads and will provide fire fighting
equipment and other facilities in the
market,” he said.
