Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has reinstated the paramount ruler of Piriga in the Lere Local Government Area of the state, Chief Jonathan Zamuna, describing the traditional institution as a stabilising force.
But on Thursday, the governor announced Zamuna’s reinstatement during a meeting with the State Council of Chiefs, promising to strengthen a strong collaborative framework with the traditional institution.“We have made considerable progress with our plans in the siting of a Brigade in the Southern Kaduna general area. Similarly, we are working on having more military presence in frontline areas across Birnin Gwari, Giwa, Igabi, Kajuru, Kachia, Kagarko and Chikun LGAs,” he said.
“Leadership remains the cornerstone for effectively addressing all of the challenges confronting Nigeria today. That necessarily includes your leadership, because you are closest to the people. You are part of the force which can turn our society around for good.
