The Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria (KACRAN) has urged its members nationwide to refrain from engaging in any form of violence but rather foster peace and unity within the country.
The National President, KACRAN, Khalil Muhammad Bello, made the plea in a statement made available to journalists.
Bello insisting that KACRAN is as an organisation committed to harmony and progress, however strongly condemned any acts of vandalism and lawlessness, noting that such behavior poses a threat to the nation’s fragile security and contradicts our values as a civilized society.
He added that: “KACRAN acknowledges the challenging times Nigeria faces, particularly about insecurity. It is during such critical times that the solidarity of all Nigerians, irrespective of ethnic or religious backgrounds, is paramount. We must unite to prevent any actions that could further destabilize our nation.
“With a focus on enhancing our security system and maintaining peace, KACRAN calls upon its members to avoid demonstrations. While peaceful protests are a constitutional right, there exists the risk of such events being co-opted by malicious individuals seeking to cause disorder and damage.
“Furthermore, KACRAN wishes to express its profound appreciation for the North East Development Commission (NEDC) and its extensive efforts to implement development projects and support internally displaced persons in the region. This commendation stems from positive feedback from our members and reflects the commission’s dedication to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s vision of rebuilding and restoring hope in the affected areas. The NEDC is indeed trying towards the recovery process in the region”.
KACRAN urged the Federal Government of Nigeria to increase the funding for NEDC to enable them discharge their mandate efficiently.
He said: “We also acknowledge the exceptional leadership of His Excellency, Borno State Governor Professor Babagana Umara Zulum. Governor Zulum’s initiative of establishing a committee to foster peace between cattle rearers and farmers in the state is laudable. The committee’s mandate to address the root causes of conflicts and to promote longstanding harmony in Borno State is a testament to his exemplary governance”.
Bello however called on other state governors to emulate Governor Zulum’s proactive approach, stating that: “His transformative projects in Borno State serve as a model for leadership not only in Nigeria but globally.”
KACRAN reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to assist the federal, state, and local governments in seeking lasting solutions to Nigeria’s security challenges, calling on members to extend their full support and cooperation to achieve our collective goals of peace, unity, and development.

NGX boss restates commitment to gender equality
The Group Chairman Nigerian Exchange Group, Dr. Umaru Kwairanga has restated the NGX’s commitment to gender equality and diversity at all levels of the organisation.
Kwairanga stated this in Lagos on Tuesday while delivering his welcome address on the occasion of the closing ceremony in honour of the Honourable Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajiya Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, who visited the floor of the Nigerian Exchange.
He stated that the Nigerian Exchange Group as an organisation remained committed to inclusiveness that drive growth and development at all levels of the NGX’s dealings.
He stated that through such inclusive representation, the NGX has achieved near parity at the board levels of the organisation and was working to improve the representation of female employees down the line.
“As an institution committed to sustainable growth and practices, we recognise the important qualities and values that women bring to the workplace and know that they perform just as well, if not better than men.
“It is a tradition in finance and investment that can be traced to the origins of the banking, finance and investment professions when most of the trade guilds that evolved into those professions were largely composed of men.
“The tradition has persisted for hundreds of years but despite that nomenclature, let me assure you that the investment and securities sector is very welcoming to and open to city gentlemen who are female.
“Women are very well represented at all levels of our industry and I can confide in you that the next President of the Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers is going to be a woman,” he said.
Kwairanga stated that the NGX would partner with the Ministry to accelerate progress for women’s rights and improve the lot of female gender across the country.
He commended Sulaiman-Ibrahim for her several bold and innovative initiatives that would have positive impact on women and the country as a whole.
