Zaitawa also commended Senator Barau for moving a motion at the Senate floor, proposing ways to reduce the high prices of goods and services and implement measures to curb inflation.

The statement also praised the Deputy Senate President for engaging with the leaders of the Singer Market Association in Kano, on how they can lower the price of essential goods and support the government's economic recovery plan.
