From Mika’il Tsoho, Dutse
The Jigawa State governor, Malam Umar Namadi on Monday inaugurated 27 newly elected local government chairmen in the state and directed them to relocate to local government headquarters without further delay.
Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Hon. Bello Abdulkadir Fanini performed the ceremony at Banquet hall government house Dutse.
“This is not the era of residing in Kano, Abuja or Dutse while you are the chairman of Buji, Guri or Kafin Hausa. You most stay in your area 24/7 as your attention is needed any time.
“There is befitting local government council’s chairman residents constructed in all the 27 local government area. Renovate it if it is in bad condition. But you must stay with your people in order to serve them very well. I will not tolerate abandoning your people for rampant and unnecessary travellings.“
Governor Namadi also warned them to avoid involving themselves in land, grazing and forest reserves racketeering or risk jail.
“I’m warming all of you to avoid illegal allocating and selling of lands, grazing and forest reserves in your respective areas.”
