Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has approved significant salary and allowance increases for Emirs, Chiefs, District Heads, and Village Heads across the state's three senatorial districts. The aim of this review, according to Commissioner of Information and Culture Malam Ahmed Maiyaki, is to bolster the traditional rulers' capacity and welfare in fulfilling their grassroots responsibilities.
In addition to the salary review, security allowances for all 35 Emirates and Chiefdoms in Kaduna State have been approved, set to commence on September 1, 2026. This allowance is intended to enhance grassroots intelligence gathering and bolster security agencies' ability to combat crime and other threats. Maiyaki emphasized that traditional rulers act as vital links between government and local communities, possessing unique insights into emerging threats and community dynamics.
Maiyaki stressed that these measures reflect the administration's acknowledgement of traditional institutions as indispensable partners in promoting peace, security, and development at the grassroots level. He urged residents to maintain cooperative relations with traditional authorities and security personnel, providing timely and reliable information to ensure safety and prosperity for all.
