The Market Traders Association of Nigeria (MATAN), Kebbi State chapter has trained 510 traders on different trades to boost their capabilities in various businesses.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony and swearing-in of state executive members of MATAN in Birnin Kebbi on Monday, the State Governor, Comrade Dr Nasir Idris promised to assist the association to achieve its set goals.
Gov. Idris commended the association for what he described as a laudable foresight and urged it to sustain the tempo for the benefit of other members.
Earlier in an opening remark, the Kebbi State Commissioner for Commerce, Alhaji Usman Ladan-Dakingari appreciated the governor for supporting the association both morally and financially.
He encouraged the new executive members to focus attention on what would bring unity among members and support the growth of Kebbi State.
On his part, the Chairman, All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, Alhaji Abubakar Muhammad-Kanna appealed to the marketers to consider the possibility of reducing the prices of goods and food items in view of the fact that "fasting is approaching."
The chairman also urged them to extend helping hands to the less-privileged as well as downtrodden "to attract the mercies of our creator."
