In the wake of the prevailing economic hardship, high cost of foodstuff and standard of living across the country, the United Marketers Association (UMAPO) Potiskum Local Government chapter in Yobe state Friday organized prayers to seek for divine intervention to overcome the harsh realities.
Speaking at the prayers ground, the Chairman of the association, Potiskum chapter, Alhaji Nasiru Mato said, the prayers was to seek Allah’s forgiveness due to the economic hardship, and asked Him for the way forward.
Mato said: “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.”
The chairman also 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.
