Reduce fuel price, Nigerians are hungry, Kukah tells APC leaders

Archbishop of Sokoto Diocese, Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah, has asked the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to find a way of reducing poverty in the country, saying Nigerians are hungry.

The Bishop specifically asked the APC leaders to reduce the price of fuel.

Bishop Kukah was speaking, Friday, at the formal unveiling of The Progressive Institute (TPI), the brain child of the Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje-led National Working Committee (NWC).
