Emir of Zazzau Reaffirms Traditional Council’s Commitment to Protecting the Rights of All Communities
By Idris Umar, Zaria
The Emir of Zazzau, His Royal Highness Malam Ahmad Nuhu Bamalli, has reaffirmed that his traditional council remains committed to protecting the rights of all communities within the Zazzau Emirate.
The Emir made this known while receiving complaints from the Sabon Gari Market Traders Association and the Ganuwa Auto Technicians Association in Zaria.
He emphasized that the primary duty of the traditional council is to ensure justice and listen to all parties in order to resolve issues peacefully.
"I urge complainants to always keep documents and evidence that can help in resolving their problems," the Emir said.
In his remarks, the Chairman of the Sabon Gari Market Traders Association, Alhaji Adamu Ibrahim Alolo, expressed concerns over how the market management committee and a private company overseeing the market have been violating the agreement reached with the association.
He highlighted issues such as shop ownership disputes and insecurity as some of the major challenges traders are currently facing.
Alhaji Alolo appealed to the Zazzau Emirate Council to intervene, stating that the Emir is a father to all and they are seeking justice regarding the situation.
Similarly, the Chairman of the Ganuwa Auto Technicians Association, Malam Tanko, voiced concerns over reports suggesting that the Kaduna State Government, along with some individuals, is planning to relocate them to an area behind the Kufena Hills.
Malam Tanko pointed out that more than 4,000 people—mostly young apprentices—rely on that location for their livelihood and to support their families.
In his response, the Emir of Zazzau, Malam Ahmad Nuhu Bamalli, promised to engage with all relevant stakeholders to find a lasting solution to the issues presented. He also called on all parties to maintain peace and harmony among themselves.
