Adara stakeholders in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State have hailed the return of peace in the area, even as they okayed the rebuilding of Kasuwan Magani ultra modern market by the State Government.

“Participants in totality supported the efforts of KDSG in rebuilding Kasuwan Magani ultra modern market and call for a faster reconstruction efforts so as to meet up with the stipulated completion period of the project,” according to a communiqué issued at the end of Kajuru LGA Adara Stakeholders meeting held at GDSS Maraban Kajuru on Wednesday, December 18, 2019.

The meeting resolved “that the security issues be discussed discretely at a later date” and that local and Local Government Internally Displaced People (IDP) committees should be fused together to work in harmony.

The decisions were taken after Chairman Kajuru LG, Hon. Cafra Caino, who chaired the meeting, who spoke on the relative peace enjoyed by the residents. He, however, cautioned them to be wary of people with questionable character, a measure he described as the only way that could avert any impending attack in the area.

He listed security, IDPs and Kasuwan Magani ultra-modern market rebuilding efforts as the three key issues affecting Adara as a people. Emphasising the need for security consciousness among the residents, Hon. Caino posited that security issue is a collective responsibility, urging them to assist the security by keeping night vigil.

Similarly, Chairman Kajuru Truth, Peace and Reconciliation Committee, Rt. Hon Patrick Stephen Maigari, emphasised on the need for the ethnic groups in the area to accommodate each other as one and coexist peacefully with one another irrespective of political affiliation for the progress of the area.

Speaking in the same vein, the District Head of Kufana, Mr Titus Dauda, appreciated the State Government and the Chairman of the Local Government Council for their steadfastness in restoring peace in the area.

In attendance at the meeting were some former Kajuru LGA chairmen; Executive Chairman and Council members; former commissioners from Kajuru LG; District Head of Kufana with all his village heads; Adara Development Association (ADA) National President, Dio Maisamari; ADA Kaduna Leader; ADA Kajuru Branch Leader; Chairman, Youth Council; Chairman and members of Kasuwan Magani Market Committee; Kajuru legislative members; Chairman, Kajuru IDPs Committee; former ADA national leaders; party chairmen at LG level or their representatives; former Kaduna House of Assembly members and other relevant key stakeholders.

The meeting was moderated by Rt. Hon Patrick S. Maigari, with Hon Williams Toro as Rapaptour.
