The senator representing Kaduna
Central at the Upper Legislative Chamber, Shehu Sani, has admonished
northerners in power to see themselves as servants and not demi-gods.
Sani noted that the north must
focus on education, agriculture, tourism, mines, ICT and health, to steer
development in the region.
The lawmaker said this at
Northern Senators forum retreat held in Katsina.
He urged the northern region to
also revive its manufacturing sector, and prepare a post oil plan.
According to Sani, “Those in the
position of power must see themselves as servants and not masters or gods or
Demi gods.
“The north must stand up and end
extremism and terrorism. The north must build bridges between its majority and
minority ethnic groups.
“The north must prepare a post
oil master plan for its socio-economic development.
“The north must start test
running on restructuring by budgeting without dependent on federal allocation.
“The region must factor on 6 key
areas; education, agriculture, tourism, mines, ICT and health. The north must
revive its manufacturing sector. The north must empower its people, provide
opportunities for the most vulnerable and end poverty and dependency culture.
The north must see itself as a component of the Nigerian nation.
“The north must equally
neutralize the menace of materialism and revive its moral values fading fast in
