The Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, Thursday told President Muhammadu Buhari to improve the economic situation of the country to ameliorate the sufferings and hardship faced by Nigerians, especially the high cost of food items across the country.
The monarch equally implored the President to improve the security situation, lamenting the level of insecurity in Nigeria.
He spoke when he received the President who was at the Emir’s palace to pay homage after commissioning the Kano/Kaduna rail project and the Dangi Interchange Under-Bridge Road constructed by the Kano State government.
Emir Bayero said: “We are excited with your visit to the palace. We appreciate your visit to the palace from time to time, even during the time of the late Emir. We want to commend the president for the infrastructural development across the country, particularly those sited in Kano just as the Governor listed some of such projects despite the shortfalls in the economy.
“We are hoping the presidential aides would continue to advise the president on the condition and wellbeing of the poor masses, especially in those aspects where he would need to be informed on certain development for necessary action. This is a responsibility upon us which we need to discharge accordingly.
“We are calling on the president to look into various sectors of life and find ways of ameliorating the sufferings and hardships faced by the masses, especially in the areas of security, economy(food and commodities). We often pray for divine intervention for our country. To the followers, we urged them to sustain constant prayers for the leaders and pray to God to heal our land from COVID-19 pandemic.”
