The 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has proposed solutions that he believes could permanently solve the ongoing crises involving the Fulani community in Nigeria.
Emir Sanusi shared his plans during a meeting with the leadership of Tapital Pulaku Njode Jam Nigeria, a Fulani socio-cultural group, at his palace. He emphasised that his proposals could only be effective with the support of the federal government.
“If the federal government supports my mission, given their resources and influence, I am prepared to provide the strategies and methodologies necessary to address these issues,” the emir stated.
He highlighted the urgency of finding a lasting resolution to the Fulani crises, noting that the community has faced significant challenges, including attacks, isolation, killings, destruction, and cattle rustling. Emir Sanusi stressed that these issues have been widespread and that immediate action is needed.
