He explained that the preservation of the artefacts would destroy the distorted facts and lies some people were spreading about the emirate.
He noted that the emirate had existed for about 900 years, saying that the Fulani had been ruling for about 200 years now.
On the proposed Islamic Arts Exhibition by the National Gallery of Arts, the emir said it would help promote Islamic calligraphy of Quran and other literary works.
Emir Bamalli spoke at the Kaduna Arts Exhibition with the theme: “Stories of Kaduna Arts by Young Professional Artists”, organised by the National Gallery of Arts.
