The Emir of Kano, Mallam Muhammad Sanusi II, has called on the Federal Government ‎to seek the advice of economic experts in tackling current economic crisis in the country.‎

Sanusi gave the advice on Wednesday during the traditional Sallah Durbar (Hawan Nasarawa) at the Government House, Kano.‎

He said ‎that consulting the experts would help in enunciating ‎proper solution to the crisis and reduce the hardship people were currently facing in the country.‎

The emir, who is a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), urged wealthy Nigerians to support the less-privileged in the society in order to alleviate their sufferings.

‎‎He added that Nigerians, irrespective of religious beliefs and political inclinations, should continue to pray for economic growth and development of the country.‎

He also urged the people of Kano to remain law-abiding and be their brother’s keeper irrespective of religion or ethnic background.‎

Sanusi appealed to the state government to help the people to acquire skills‎ that would make them self-reliant.‎
‎
In his remarks, acting governor of the state, Prof. Hafiz Abubakar, said that paying salary of workers was not a privilege but an ‎obligation, which the state had continued to meet.

He pointed out that the economic crunch had made it difficult for no fewer than 28 states out of the 36 in the country to pay workers’ salary.‎
‎
Abubakar said that the state government was spending N62 million weekly for the feeding ‎of boarding school students across the state.‎

‎He called on the people to continue to pray for peace, unity and progress in the country.

FG berates US congressman over comment

Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture Photo: Femi Ipaye/PM News The Federal Government has described as sadly out of tune with reality the published letter from US Congressman Tom Marino to Secretary of State John Kerry, asking the US to withhold security assistance to Nigeria on the strength of some imaginary infraction by the Buhari Administration. In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said Congressman Marino was poorly informed about the issues he commented on, wondering why he did not take the pains to get first hand information from the US Embassy in Nigeria or any other credible source before engaging in what is nothing but a ‘propaganda of his own imagination’.
