Gov. Yusuf to traditional rulers: Collaborate with security agencies to ensure optimal security

Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, appealed to traditional rulers to collaborate with the government and security agencies to ensure peace and maximum security in the state.

This was contained in a statement issued by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, on Saturday.

The governor emphasized the crucial role of traditional rulers in upholding peace and security in their respective domains, highlighting the significance of their involvement in this vital aspect.

Governor Yusuf expressed concern over the diminishing tradition among institutions to keep detailed records of their subjects, a practice that once aided in efficiently monitoring movements within their territories by both locals and outsiders.

He urged them to revive this practice to enhance societal monitoring and security measures.

“We must revive this practice to enhance societal monitoring and security.”

Furthermore, Governor Yusuf disclosed his administration’s plans to conduct house numbering exercises to accurately determine household populations for appropriate infrastructure planning and security management.

“We plan to conduct house numbering exercises to accurately determine household populations,” he added.

He urged traditional rulers to intensify their prayers for the state and the nation as a whole, reassuring them of his administration’s support.

In response, the Emirs of Rano, Alhaji Kabir Muhammad Inuwa, Gaya, Alhaji Aliyu Ibrahim, and Karaye, Alhaji (Dr.) Ibrahim Abubakar, expressed gratitude for the governor’s hospitality.

They pledged their full support for policies and initiatives aimed at enhancing security and fostering peaceful coexistence among the state’s populace.
