Kano state deputy governor, Dr.Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, Thursday said the level of understanding and peaceful coexistence between the communities at the borders of Kano and Jigawa states are the signs of the harmony experienced along the borders.
“95% consensus has been achieved on the boundary according to the joint field report. Now, only 5% remained as grey areas,” he said.”
Represented by the Kano State Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, Barrister Musa Abdullahi Lawan, the deputy governor who is also the chairman of Kano State Boundary Committee stated this during a meeting of Kano/Jigawa Interstate Boundary Committee meeting held at the Government House, Kano.
He stated that: “The state government is committed to ensuring effective framework which will adequately address boundary issues, particularly towards resolving the grey sectors along Kano/Jigawa and Kano/Katsina interstate boundaries with further plan for the physical demarcation of the agreeable sectors of the affected boundary.”
In his remarks the deputy governor of Jigawa state, Alhaji Umar Namadi, represented by the Commissioner of Land and Regional Planning, Alhaji Sagir Musa Ahmad, stated that the Kano/Jigawa Interstate Boundary which has the distance of about 354 kilometres derived its origin from the old Kano state which shows that the two states are one and the same.
