Kauru Community Leaders Demand Urgent Action on Insecurity, Infrastructure






Kauru Local Government Area in Kaduna State is facing a severe security crisis, with residents experiencing frequent attacks, abductions, and displacements. In a press briefing on Sunday, January 19th, the Chairman of the Kauru Local Government Community Development Associations (CDAs) Forum, Chief Abel Habila Adamu, called for urgent government intervention to address the escalating violence.

The briefing highlighted the recent killing of a woman by her abductors in Kiffin Chawai, despite the payment of ransom. It also detailed the displacement of thousands of people from their homes in Kumana and Kauru chiefdoms due to attacks in various villages.

To combat this insecurity, the CDAs are demanding the establishment of two military bases, one in each of the Kauru and Kumana chiefdoms. They also urged the government to increase security personnel in Chawai chiefdom to address ongoing attacks in certain areas.

Beyond security, the CDAs emphasized the critical need for improved infrastructure in the region. They specifically called for the extension of the ongoing Pambegua-Kauru Road project to connect communities in all three chiefdoms (Kauru, Kumana, and Chawai). This, they argued, would not only improve transportation and economic prospects but also enhance security response times.

Furthermore, the CDAs requested the government to provide essential infrastructure such as healthcare facilities, schools, potable water, and electricity to improve the living standards of the people.

Chief Abel Adamu commended the efforts of the Kauru Local Government Chairman, Alhaji Bashir Tanko Dawaki, and the representatives at the national and state assemblies for their efforts in addressing the challenges facing the community.

Chief Adamu concluded by reiterating the CDAs' commitment to working with the government and other stakeholders to ensure the safety and security of the people of Kauru Local Government Area.

This press brief serves as a strong call to action for the government to address the pressing security and infrastructure needs of Kauru, a region grappling with significant challenges.
