Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje
and Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II held a closed-door meeting at the Kano
Government House in Kano on Sunday.
Ganduje’s spokesman, Tanko
Yankassi, made their discussion public via a statement.
He explained that Emir Sanusi’s
visit was the traditional Hawan Nassarawa homage.
In his remark, Ganduje spoke of
his government’s effort towards ensuring peace, security and development of
Kano State.
“We have also built ten security
dormitories, each capable of housing 60 security officials to help the police
in surveillance along the major highways coming onto the state capital”, he
said.
Ganduje further stated that his
administration, in conjunction with security agencies, have taken concrete
steps to end criminal activities within Falgore forest.
The governor added that so far,
the Nigerian Army has established a training facility for soldiers in the
forest.
He told the Emir that his
administration has committed huge resources to the provision of public
infrastructure like metropolitan roads, rural access infrastructure, hospitals
and classrooms among others, requesting for the sustained support of the
Emirate Council to forge ahead.
Earlier, Emir Sanusi urged the
government to focus more on economic development, especially alleviating the
current hardship being faced by Nigerians.
He also urged political leaders
to caution their supporters against causing public disturbances, saying it was
also imperative on them to generate more employment opportunities for the
teeming youths in the country.
Meanwhile, security agents in
Kano on Sunday arrested dozens of Boko Haram members.
