\"How<\/h2>\n

By Ibrahim HassanWuyo<\/h2>\n

Renowned Islamic scholar, Sheihk Ahmad Mahmud Gumi has attributed the high price of commodities in the country to the continued closure of borders by the Buhari led Federal Government.<\/p>\n

He said in an interview with the BBC Hausa, that economic problems in a country could cause serious hardship, and therefore it is imperative that government take the appropriate measures.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all,it was not proper to close borders when the people are in need of food to eat. Leaving the border open will enable farmers from all over the world to bring in their food products. Doing so will make food products to be cheap because everyone would like to sell.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow for example in Thailand, they have produced rice in enormous quantities. The rice is about to spoil. You see, if they realize the rice will spoil, they can bring it at a cheaper price. In America, we\u2019ve seen how they are disposing off milk. So,if you close your border and you don\u2019t have enough ,definitely there will be wastage elsewhere,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Kaduna based Islamic scholar also called on government to look at the issue of electric tariff with a view to reducing it.<\/p>\n

According to him,\u201d we all know it is water from Allah and from the dam that help in producing electric power..It is not any huge money that is spent in the matter. So why should people be pressed so hard, people whose salary is nothing to talk about?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is necessary to revisit the issue of electric tariff, people shouldn\u2019t be overburdened,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
