Cold weather has become an obstacle to the normal activities in Kano State, where the high level of dust and harmattan have overtaken almost everywhere, creating a foggy atmosphere.
Our correspondent who monitored some parts of Kano State, reports that since in the early hours of Saturday, the sky became dusty and the weather remained very cold, which forced many people to remain indoors.
In the ancient city of Kano, people were seen wearing coat and other alternative protective covers from cold, while face masks sellers were also busy selling their wares, while most of the vehicles windows were closed to guard against the cold weather.
Meanwhile, the firewood and charcoal sellers were thronged with customers from different locations in their efforts to bargain the commodity for home use as observed by New Nigerian.
All those who had chats with our correspondent, stressed that this year’s season is different from the previous ones regarding the high powered harmattan and dust in which people with asthmatic issues stayed at home to protect themselves.
