The leadership of the unions’ Jigawa State chapters disclosed this while speaking at the town hall meetings held on Monday at the Banquet Hall, Government House Dutse.

The meeting aimed to discuss how to join hands with critical stakeholders to tackle economic challenges and advise people not to become agents of national destruction.

According to them, the state government is doing its best to alleviate the suffering of the common man; therefore, the planned mass protest has no basis in Jigawa State.

They explained that the state government has initiated various empowerment programmes that are touching the lives of the masses at the grassroots level, including FADAMA CARES.

State Commissioner of Police, CP A.T. Abdullahi, noted that  Jigawa is the most peaceful state in the nation, therefore, there is a need to maintain the tempo.

He explained that most protests are being hijacked by criminals who don’t want good for the country.
