Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani approves an upward review of salaries and allowances for traditional rulers, including Emirs, Chiefs, District Heads and Village Heads. The decision is announced in a statement released on Wednesday by the Commissioner of Information and Culture, Malam Ahmed Maiyaki.
The approved review applies across traditional rulers in Kaduna State’s three senatorial districts. Both outlets report that, alongside the salary changes, Uba Sani also okays security allowances for the traditional leaders. Premium Times reports that the security allowance is intended to strengthen grassroots intelligence gathering and support security agencies in tackling crime and other security threats.
While the reports align on the core measures—salary/allowance increases and security allowances—the outlets present slightly different emphasis. Daily Post Nigeria focuses on the approval and coverage across the state, while Premium Times highlights the security rationale for the allowances.
