A group of elders in Kaduna, the Kaduna Development Elders Initiative, has lamented that the state under Governor Nasir el-Rufa’i is sinking.
The group therefore called on the governor to urgently change his style of administration.
The elders, rising from an executive meeting in Kaduna, said they resolved to continue advising el-Rufa’i for the state to experience physical and human development.
The elders, in the communiqué signed by their publicity secretary, Alhassan Balarabe Musa, said el-Rufa’i’s promise of making Kaduna great again is not seen in reality.
“Kaduna is now sinking into a quagmire of neglect and inaction,” the communiqué said.
“The people of Kaduna State deserve better than what is being given to them now and the sooner the governor realizes that the better. He should, therefore, change his gear now.”
The communiqué stated that civil servants and pensioners have been in agony due to what it called “endless verifications exercise,” resulting in the withholding of salaries for many months.
In another development earlier, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has said that over 300 houses were affected by the earth tremor that hit Kwoi in Kaduna State last week.
The agency’s Zonal Coordinator in the North West, Musa Illalah, said no life was lost in the incident, but that the affected houses either collapsed or got cracked.
