Natives call for Jisalo’s intervention in integrating Abuja communities

Natives of Kpaduma community in the Abuja Municipal Area Council have appealed to the Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, Zaphanial Jisalo, to intervene by ensuring that major communities in the FCT are integrated into the Abuja Master Plan. 

Secretary Kpaduma 1 community, Joseph Madaki Shekwolo, who made this known at a press briefing yesterday, said this can be possible since the natives now have a representative at the Federal Executive Council (FEC), who is abreast with the challenges of Abuja natives. 

Shekwolo, who applauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for finding one of the indigenes, Zaphaniah Bitrus Jisalo, worthy, said the appointment had renewed the hope of indigenous people and residents of the territory. 

The natives said with the appointment, they could boast of having a representative in the federal government who would ensure that their rights and dignity are protected.
