In a recent appearance as the special guest of honour at the inaugural Katsina Dialogue organized by the Katsina Consultative Forum, former President, Muhammadu Buhari said he was happy with the decision made by incumbent President, Bola Tinubu to raise the petrol pump price on May 29, 2023.
Addressing the gathering at the Presidential Banquet Hall of the Katsina Government House, Buhari shared his perspective on the potential impact of the fuel price hike.
Speaking in Hausa on Sunday, he revealed that upon returning to his native town, Daura, in Katsina State, he observed a significant influx of visitors.
However, with Tinubu’s decision to increase fuel prices, Buhari expressed joy, anticipating a potential decrease in the frequency of visits.
Beyond the discussion on petrol prices, Buhari addressed the pressing issue of drug abuse in Katsina State.
Emphasizing the importance of confronting this challenge head-on, he highlighted that protecting the well-being of the youth is crucial for the nation’s future.
Buhari called for a united and decisive effort to combat drug abuse, recognizing its potential to undermine the capabilities of both present and future generations.
The event, attended by Hadi Sirika, the immediate-past minister of aviation and aerospace development, served as a platform for substantive discussions on critical issues affecting the region.
