Economic hardship: Yobe marketers seek divine intervention

The United Marketers Association (UMAPO) Potiskum Local Government chapter in Yobe state, Friday, organised prayers to seek for Allah’s help for Nigeria to overcome the present economic hardship.

Speaking at the prayers ground, the Chairman of UMAPO Potiskum chapter, Alhaji Nasiru Mato, said the prayers was to seek Allah’s forgiveness due to the economic hardship in the country and ask him the way forward.

“The challenges of high cost materials such as food items and other things happened as a result of the fuel subsidy removal. Marketers are facing seriously challenges at this trying moment,” he said.

He called on federal, state and local government to set up committees that will come up with ways to cushion the hardship being faced by Nigerians.
