Gov. Nasir El-Rufai
By Hussaina Yakubu
Kaduna State Governor, Nasiru El-Rufai, says the state government spent about N16 billion on security in the past five years.
El-Rufai, who made the disclosure at a meeting with the Council of Emirs and Chiefs, on Tuesday in Kaduna, explained that the money was used to support security agencies and acquire technology and infrastructure to fight insecurity in the state.
He noted that the money would have gone into developmental projects if the people had chosen to live in peace.
The governor, therefore, called on all the traditional rulers to help persuade people to choose to live peacefully, and address misleading narratives on current communal conflicts in part of the state.
