RE: DESTRUCTION OF LAWALI IZALA RESIDENCE BY THE DIRECTORATE OF HOUSING AND TOWN PLANNING.

By Bello Ibrahim Gusau 

It was Yesterday Morning People gazed Men of Department of Housing and Town Planning at the residence of One Lawali Izala of Maradun in Maradun local Government area, who are there to carryout their Primary responsibilities.

It is a Common Knowledge to everyone that before you erect a new building you must follow due process and secure a permission to do so, that was the reason why we have Directorate of Housing and Town Planning, Whose main responsibility is to ensure any body who want to erect a new building must have their approval before doing so.

Some People think the demolition of Lawali Izala residence as something that has to do with politics, but the destruction was not Politically Motivated but Contravening the Provisions of State Urban and Regional Planning development law.

Lawali Izala didn't follow due process to secure a permission to erect his building, so after the department of town planning observed that illegal building, they served Lawali Izala with a one month notice to appear before it for Questioning or to render his building Permit with regards to his residence which was built illegally, but very unfortunately Izala fails to appear before the directorate for a reason best known to him up till the one month notice elapse.

Similarly, the department Seal/Mark the building but Izala illegally removed the Mark which is an offence and it attracts severe punishment, because it is punishable under Building and Town planning law.

With the aforementioned reasons, the department of Housing and Town Planning is accorded with full right to demolish or destruct any building lay down by any person without permit.

This was the real fact behind the reason for the destruction of Lawali Izala residence but not Politically Motivated as some people are saying.

Insecurity in Zamfara: The Silent Crises in Dansadau Emirate

-

  The Dansadau Emirate in Maru local government is under siege not by foreign invaders but by the relentless grip of insecurity. Along the Gusau–Magami–Dansadau road, fear now walks freely where people once moved with peace and purpose. What was once a lifeline for commerce and daily life has become a corridor of terror. As someone with roots in this emirate, I can no longer stay silent. Families are torn apart, lives are lost daily, and the hope of a better tomorrow is fading. Innocent farmers, traders, children, and the elderly are living in constant fear of bandits who roam unchecked. The cries from our communities echo through the forests, yet they are met with deafening silence from those in power. We are not asking for miracles only for the most basic responsibility of any government: security. The people of Dansadau emirate deserve to live without fear, to farm their land, to send their children to school, and to travel safely within their own state. This is a call to the re...

An Urgent Call to Authorities on Graduation Celebrations

-

  By Abdullahi Lawal Bungudu I wish to draw the urgent attention of the Zamfara State Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, the Universal Basic Education Board (UBEB), the Ministry for Religious Affairs, and all school principals across the state, regarding the manner in which graduation ceremonies are now being conducted in our schools. It has become increasingly alarming that these celebrations—particularly those involving our young children—are gradually drifting away from the ethical, cultural, and religious standards expected in our society. In many instances, the interactions between boys and girls during such events are inappropriate, and contradict the moral values and teachings of Islam. This worrisome trend, if left unchecked, threatens to erode the moral foundation we strive to instill in our children through both formal education and religious upbringing. Graduation ceremonies should be moments of pride and reflection, not occasions for moral laxity and cultura...
