Katsina state government has reopened its major weekly markets previously closed down due to Coronavirus pandemic
The decision was taken as a result of the drop in the emergence of new COVID 19 cases and concern by the Government on the adverse effect of the shutting down of markets on the socio-economic activities and means of livelihood of majority of the people in the State.
The major markets in Katsina State are Charanchi, Mai'adua, Mashi, Dandume, Zango, Danja, Bakori, Yankara, Kafur, Dankama, Kaita, Kagadama, Dutsi, Garkin-Daura and Kayawa.
These markets are major hub for local and international businesses for food and livestock.
The secretary to the state government, Mustapha Inuwa, in a statement on Thursday said the markets are free to reopen from Friday June 5, urging people to adhere to safety measures saying reopening does not mean that the state is free of Coronavirus.
