The Emir of Kano requests that the First Lady kindly inform the President about the prevailing state of hunger in the nation.
The Emir also addressed the ongoing issues surrounding the proposed move of CBN and FAAN to Lagos.
He said: “Although we have several means of communicating to the government on our needs and requests, your way and means are the surest way to tell the president the actual happenings in the country.”
“The hunger and starvation in the land, though didn’t start with this government, but the situation has become worse and needs urgent attention.
“The issue of insecurity is another serious problem we are facing. I know your government inherited it, but something more serious should be done to take care of the threats.
“We are receiving a series of messages from our people. One such message is the much-talked-about relocation of CBN and FAAN to Lagos. I think the government should come out clean on this matter and talk to Nigerians in the language(s) they would understand.
“Do more enlightenment on this matter, I for one cannot tell the actual intentions of the government; we should be made to understand why the relocation of the CBN and FAAN offices now to Lagos.”
