The Emir of Yauri in Kebbi State, Dr. Muhammad Zayyanu Abdullahi, has urged holders of traditional titles to utilize their positions to drive growth and development in their communities. The monarch gave this advice during a ceremony at his palace on Sunday, where he turbaned some title holders from the area.
According to the Emir, traditional institutions are sacrosanct, and title holders should employ their positions to bring development to their people and assist them accordingly. He emphasized that those turbaned were appointed on merit, and the titles bestowed upon them are esteemed honors to serve their localities.
Dr. Abdullahi expressed gratitude to Governor Nasir Idris, who was the Special Guest of Honour at the occasion, for providing the palace with N50 million to procure a modern royal boat for the Emir's marine official engagements.
Those turbaned included the Minister of State for Humanitarian Affairs, Dr. Tanko Yusuf Sununu, as 'Danmadamin Yauri', and former Senator Kebbi South, Sen. Bala Ibn Na-ALLAH, as 'Bauran Yauri'. The ceremony was also attended by the Minister for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, and Member, House of Representatives from Kano State, Alhaji Ado Doguwa, among other important dignitaries.
