Alhaji Abbas said it was a tough time for his members over the unfortunate incident, adding that governors should also compensate traders across the country, noting that paying them adequate compensation for the losses would help their businesses bounce back and in turn boost the economy.
He commended the effort of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration for initiating various socio-economic intervention programmes.
