“Most marketers put price of their goods and sell the way they want without any fear of the Almighty God in their heart. They are making life extremely hard for citizens that are not getting the food stuff at an affordable price,” Buru said.

“Almighty God is not really happy with the activities of Nigerian marketers on their behavior. They took every opportunity to doubled prices,” the cleric said, urging states and the Federal government to redoubled effort in providing adequate fertilizers for this year farming season which according to him, will support farmers in producing large quantity of food crop.

They called for re-introduction of price-control-system in the Nigerian market which according to them will reduce the menace of cheating and extortion by some marketers.

As the month of Ramadan approaches, the clerics called on marketers to immediately cut-down prices of all goods to enable citizens buy food stuff and fruits at affordable prices to help Muslims observing fasting.
