The rebuilding of the Tudun Biri community bombed by a military drone on 3rd of December, 2023 will commence in two weeks time.
The assurance was given by the Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, on Saturday while addressing the National Executive and National Working Committee Meeting of Fityanul Islam of Nigeria, held at the Kaduna State University.
This was as the Governor promised to allocate land for the construction of the proposed University by the Fityanul Islam of Nigeria.
Reacting to the National Leader of the Islamic group who had earlier in his remarks called for prompt delivery of promises made to the people of Tudun Biri, Governor Sani said he met with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu five days ago on the promises made by the Federal Government towards rebuilding Tudun Biri.
“Five days ago, I met with Mr President on the need to quickly rebuild Tudun Biri and the President quickly called the Vice President and we discussed the issues and he (the President) assured me that the work will begin in two weeks’ time.”
He assured that houses, hospital, school, market and Police station will be built in the community under the Tudun Biri reconstruction project by the Federal.
He said on the part of the state government, it had treated all the 75 victims who were injured in the unfortunate incident and gave them psychosocial assistance while they were being accommodated for 17 days at the state women and children before they were allowed to go home.
The Governor, who noted that a committee headed by the Deputy Governor, Dr Hadiza Balarabe, had been set up to manage and distribute the donations made for the community, assured that justice will be done to the people of Tudun Biri.
Speaking further on the University project proposed by Fityanul Islam, Governor Uba Sani assured that he will allocate land for that purpose by next Tuesday, just as he promised to support the organization’s plan to build an orphanage home in Kaduna being the capital of Northern Nigeria.
Earlier, the National Leader of Fittanul Islam, Sheikh Muhammad Arabi Abdul Fathi called on the government to hasten the planned rebuilding of Tudun Biri Village.
He also called on the Federal Government to, in view of the rise in the exchange rate making the 2024 Hajj fare to go up, come to the aid of the intending pilgrims by subsidizing the Hajj fare.
The Islamic leader also called on the 36 state Governors to make efforts to improve the economy of their states, saying that the high rate of crimes recently experienced were as a result of economic hardship hitting hard on Nigerians.
