Exclusive: Zamfara Governor Unveils Masterplan To Solve Northern Nigeria Problems

Zamfara State Governor, Bello Mohammed Matawalle has proffered solutions to challenges facing Northern Nigeria.

Governor Bello Mohammed in a chat with newsmen said the Northern Nigeria of today is in dire need of strong and focus leadership that is respected to serve as a common guide.

His words: “this region is currently in disarray due to lack of purposeful and recognised leaders who can show the way to the majority. Gone are the days when the region boasts of a crop of elders who are respected by all and who showed the way”.

He noted that the North is a beehive of banditry, destitution and poverty due to lack of cohesion and common purpose, economically, socially and politically”.

Governor Matawalle hinted that his administration is doing the best it can to address these problems but the total solution to these problems requires a common and holistic approach which could have been easier if the North had elders who are respected by all.

“every household, every community and every people need strong, respectful and purposeful leader or elders who earned their status so that every one looks upon them for wisdom and guidance. We no longer have that in the North”. He noted.

Matawalle however warned that the region might be able to solve its multitude of problem if the north continues to remain unfocused and individualistic.
