Jigawa State government has rejected the calls for the
creation of additional states in Nigeria.
The state made its stand at the North West Zonal Public
Hearing on True Federalism, held at the Coronation Hall, Kano State Government
House.
It said push for the creation of additional states made no
sense when most of the existing states were not viable.
Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Adamu Abdulkadiri
Fanini, who represented the governor supported the idea of independent
candidacy in the political process and state police.
He said, “it was well known that most state governments were
providing huge support to the police in the area of equipment and logistics.”
Jigawa also made a strong case for the devolution of the
functions of the Federal Government in the area of agriculture, education, road
construction and health while asking for increased allocation to states and
local governments.
