The Kano State Consumer Protection Council (CPC) has been urged to discharge its responsibilities with fairness, dedication and without fear or favour.
The President of the Association of the State Business Community Council, Alhaji Sabi’u Bako, gave the advice while receiving the newly appointed Executive Secretary of the Kano State Consumer Protection Council, Dr. Ibrahim Garba Muhammad, during a courtesy visit to business associations in the state metropolis.
Alhaji Sabi’u Bako described the council as a veritable tool for the protection of lives and the economic well-being of traders and consumers.
He also advised staff of the council to give maximum support and cooperation to the Executive Secretary to enable him achieve remarkable results.
Speaking earlier, Dr. Ibrahim Garba Muhammad said the visit was aimed at introducing himself and seeking fatherly advice from the business community leader in view of his vast experience in commercial activities.
He stated that the council would intensify efforts to sensitise traders and consumers on the dangers associated with the use of expired and adulterated products, noting that such products pose serious risks to human health.
Also speaking, the Chairman of Singer Market, Dr. Junaidu Mohd Zakari, advised the council to prioritise sensitisation and mobilisation of traders before resorting to legal action.
According to him, such an approach would help revive the council’s image and strengthen its relationship with the business community across the state.
