Singer Market Development Association, Kano, has appealed to Dangote and Bua companies to consider cutting down the prices of sugar ahead of the fasting month of Ramadan.
That apart, the grocery dealers urged the Federal Government to liberalize the participation of more manufacturers in the food industry to encourage competitiveness.
With the involvement of more players in the food industry, the cost of essential commodities will definitely crash, while ordinary consumers will feel relief, the merchants opined.
Addressing journalists on the prices of essential commodities in the market ahead of Ramadan, Chairman of the market association, Junaidu Muhammed Zakari, said the two manufacturers have a responsibility to ease the pain of the common man in the country.
