Yobe deputy speaker urges New Lawan of Jakusko to remain patient with the people

The Deputy Speaker of the Yobe State House of Assembly, Hon. Yau Usman Dachia, has urged the new Lawan of Jakusko, Alhaji Muhammadu Sabo Lamido, to be patient with his people and continue with the good work that he has been doing for the people of Jakusko and its environs.
Hon. Yau Usman Dachia, a member representing Jakusko constituency in the Yobe State House of Assembly, disclosed this to newsmen in Jakusko shortly after Alhaji Muhammadu Sabo Lamido was turbanned as the new Lawani of Jakusko by the Emir of Bade, Alhaji Abubakar Umar Suleiman.
“Alhaji Muhammadu Sabo Lamido is among the oldest Auditor-Generals in Yobe State; to say today your Lawan is an Auditor-General, almost he knows everything that is going on in the country, and we are proud of him anywhere he goes; he would not fail us; Bade Emirate is proud of him; the Emir is proud of him; and Yobe State will be proud to say that a person who served as Auditor-General turned into serving his people.” Dachia said.
He expresses his gratitude to the Emir of Bade, Alhaji Abubakar Umar Suleiman, for selecting a man like Sabo, who deserves to be the Lawani of Jakusko, and the whole people of Jakusko are happy with it. He is a grassroot personality, and this is very important in the sense that on the issue of insecurity, leaders are needed that can enlighten the people on government programs.
“Everybody knows that Alhaji Sabon Lamido, before he becomes the Lawani is doing something and people don’t know that he is doing. For example: I know he is giving money on a monthly basis of about N225,000 to all mosques and Malams to buy animals to pray to Almighty Allah to give us peace in Jakusko, Bade Emirate, and Yobe State as a whole.
“We thank God for protecting our people. The cases of insecurity that is happening. The Jakusko local government is among the local governments that didn’t get that problem, and I am assured that they are praying, and today, Alhaji Muhammadu Sabo Lamido is the leader of the whole area” he added.
Hon. Dachia, maintained that, by this new role, the Lawani will double his efforts in doing good. He therefore called on the people of Jakusko to be patient, continue to give him support and cooperation; and also praying to Almighty Allah to guide and protect him.

KARAN Appeals for Support for the ministry of Livestock Development

KARAN Appeals for Support for the ministry of Livestock Development
By: Michael Mike
The Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria (KACRAN) has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to urgently support the Ministry of Livestock Development in getting its office ready.
The association decried that nearly eight months after the establishment of this crucial ministry, the renovation of the permanent office allocated to it for its operations is yet to be started, noting that this delay has impeded the
implementation of essential policies and programmes aimed at promoting the livestock sector and its value chains across Nigeria.
KACRAN, in a statement on Saturday, signed by its National President, Hon. Khalil Bello said: “When the Ministry was established on July 9, 2024, we, Nigeria’s pastoralists, viewed it as a long-awaited answer to our prayers and a significant step towards addressing over 50 years of
neglect in the livestock sector.
“However, the lack of progress since then has been disheartening, preventing the Ministry from fulfilling its critical role in ensuring food security and contributing to
the national economy.
“Currently, the Ministry functions more as a Directorate of Animal Husbandry Services, lacking the resources and infrastructure necessary for it to operate independently and effectively.
“Despite the critical nature of its mission, the allocated office space/building remains unrenovated and a timeline for starting the renovation or completion has not been provided. This situation severely hampers the ability of the Honorable Minister, Permanent Secretary, Directors and staff to coordinate effectively and execute
their responsibilities.
“Moreover, the financial resources allocated to the Ministry for the 2025 fiscal year are
insufficient for the Ministry to achieve its objectives.
“KACRAN is deeply concerned that without immediate attention to these challenges, the foundational goals of the Ministry will remain unattainable. As the political landscape evolves, it is vital that the focus remains on policy timely implementation rather than allowing the future of this very important Ministry to be muddling through uncertainties.
“We urge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to prioritize the renovation and operation of the Ministry’s office so that the Honourable Minister and staff can effectively promote and develop the livestock sector.
Additionally, we implore the President to invest significantly in the livestock
sector, for enabling the Ministry to actively engage in ensuring food security, enhancing the nation’s GDP, and reducing heavy reliance on imported milk and food products, which costs Nigeria billions of
dollars annually.
“Finally, KACRAN expresses gratitude to President Tinubu for appointing Professor Muhammadu Attahiru Jega as an Advisor on Presidential Livestock Reform Programmes. We hope that under his
guidance, the Ministry can achieve its goals and bring tangible benefits to Nigeria’s pastoralists and the wider population.”

Security operatives in Kaduna have rescued a former Executive Chairman of Kaura Local Government Area, Seimon Matthias, from a kidnap attempt at his Kagoro residence.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that the attack occurred on February 14 at about 11:00 p.m. when an unspecified number of kidnappers stormed Matthias’ residence, shooting sporadically in an attempt to abduct him.
However, the sound of gunfire attracted the attention of police officers and other security operatives stationed nearby, leading to a fierce exchange of fire.
The assailants, overwhelmed by superior firepower, abandoned their victim and fled to the mountains.
Police said the victim was rescued unhurt, and a joint operation involving the Army and Kaduna Vigilante Service (KadVS) was ongoing to flush out the criminals from the surrounding bush areas.
