Kaduna: Livestock Market in Birnin Gwari Reopens After 10 Years of Closure.
By Comrade Musa Mohammed
Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has officially reopened the Kara Livestock Market in Birnin Gwari Local Government Area on Thursday, closed for over a decade due to security concerns.
This reopening follows Governor Uba Sani’s and other stakeholders’ efforts to facilitate a peace agreement between the Fulani community and the residents of Birnin Gwari, which aims to restore peace in the area.
The reopened of the renowned Kara Livestock Market will be the revival of commercial activities and the restoration of peace in the region.
The reopening results from ongoing dialogues with non-state actors aimed at achieving a peaceful resolution to the prolonged crisis in the area. The peace agreement was facilitated by the Peace Dialogue Group, which was established by the Kaduna State Government in collaboration with federal agencies and security services.
As part of this process, several senior bandit leaders have laid down their arms and chosen to embrace peace, along with their followers. These individuals are now being enrolled in a rehabilitation program created by the Kaduna State Government in partnership with the Federal Government.
The Emir of Birnin Gwari, Malam Zubairu Jibrin Maigwari II, in his remark commended Governor Uba Sani for his efforts to bring about reconciliation between the Fulani and the people of Birnin Gwari and to reopen the Kara Livestock Market, which had been closed for 10 years due to security issues.
Alhaji Abubakar, the Fulani leader and father of the repentant bandit Yellow Janbros, thanked Governor Sani for facilitating the peace agreement between the Fulani and the people of Birnin Gwari.
