Residents of communities in the Zamfara North Senatorial District have called on federal and state governments to check the persistent terrorists’ activities in the zone.A group of “concerned citizens” including Mudassir Moyi, Murtala Shinkafi, Sulaiman Tudu and others, in a statement sent to PREMIUM TIMES on Friday, said the “attacks have already subsumed most local governments in the zone ”.
“If no action is taken, it will not only result in the continuous loss of lives and property in the area, but could also have attendant economic and social consequences on the entire Zamfara North Senatorial District and the state in general,” he said.“In terms of Education, Kaura Namoda is the host to the Federal Polytechnic, which in recent times is facing low turnout of students and most staff relocated to Gusau and other neighbouring states like Kaduna, Sokoto and Kano.
