The Zamfara State government has ordered the reopening of some weekly markets in various parts of the state.
This comes more than two months after the government ordered the closure of all weekly markets across the 14 local government areas in Zamfara.
Commissioner for Information in the state, Ibrahim Dosara, announced the reopening of some of the weekly markets in a statement on Sunday.
“The state government, however, did not approve the reopening of livestock markets (kara) of any of these markets,” Dosara stated. “The government equally warns against any act of violations of law and order in the markets.
The commissioner explained that the government decided to reopen the markets following reports of some sanity in parts of the state.
He added that authorities received a series of requests by residents, saying the reopening of the markets was effective from Monday.
