Governor Yusuf also called on the people, particularly the well-to-do, to help their neighbors and the needy as the economic hardship bites harder and deeper while also urging business people to exercise compassion and fear of Allah in fixing the prices of their commodities for the common good of the people and in the spirit of brotherhood as taught by the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W).
The Governor reiterated the commitment of his administration to continue implementing programmes and policies geared towards improving the well-being of the people and the general development of the state.
