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...
