Malam Nasir @elrufai at Lugard Hall for a meeting of the Kaduna State Council of Chiefs
After opening remarks by HH, the Emir of Zazzau, Dr. Shehu Idris, Malam Nasir @elrufai is delivering his speech. The governor welcomed the meeting as an opportunity to brief the traditional rulers on Covid-19 containment efforts and the security challenges in the state
The governor has appealed to traditional rulers to help citizens at the grassroots protect themselves from Covid-19 by understanding, embracing and practicing the message of personal responsibility in the FORWARD campaign
Commissioner of Health Dr @AMBaloni has presented the Covid-19 status of the state, emphasizing the need to step up prevention efforts. She has formally explained and presented the FORWARD campaign to the Kaduna State Council of Chiefs
On security, Malam Nasir @elrufai said: “We mourn the dead, commiserate with their families and wish the wounded speedy recovery. Amidst our sorrow for the fallen, we remain committed to ending the legacy of violence that has blighted the state for 40 years”
The governor traced the efforts the Kaduna State Government has made since 2015 to expand and strengthen security in the state. He called on the traditional rulers to help bolster the constituency for peace in the state by reporting and exposing criminals in their communities
Malam Nasir @elrufai stated that the review of the chieftaincy system “is to put in safeguards to protect our traditional rulers from executive capriciousness. The reforms also seek to align the traditional institution as an enabler of inclusion in our diverse communities...”
“... The reforms place our chiefs and emirs in charge of geographic areas, not tribes, making them the leader of everyone that lives within their domain.”
“This is a logical extension of our government’s priority on the principle of citizenship, anchored on residency and ensuring that the rights granted by the constitution can be enjoyed wherever a citizen lives. No community should be immune from respecting those rights”
“As part of the solution to this problem, the government has initiated a White Paper process on the reports of the 1992 Justice Rahila Cudjoe Commission of Inquiry and the 1995 AVM Usman Muazu Peace and Reconciliation Committee.”
“Part of the misleading narrative on the crisis is a false claim of land grabbing that is being made. I authorise any traditional ruler to tell the media about any inch of land within their domain that has been forcibly grabbed or illegally occupied by anybody or group.”
Commissioner of Internal Security @samuelaruwan is providing a detailed brief on the security situation in the state
