KADUNA ELECTRIC:Area Manager refutes claims that they favor one customer over others.

The Kaduna Electric Area Manager who oversees the Talata Mafara Area office in Zamfara State debunked the rumors that, they favors Christians over the Muslim population in the metropolis.

This was in response to numerous gripes that the company always provides light between 8 am and 12 pm on Sundays, but only between 12 pm and 3 pm on Fridays.

One anonymous resident told AGP FM reporter, "Help me to clarify if the Area manager is a Christian, because he always gives light on Sundays by 8am-2pm while ignoring the Muslim ummah, noting that this is not fair to the residents," adding that this was "unfair".

Mr. Abubakar Sani, the Area Manager, reacted to this unsubstantiated claim by saying, "The resident is not living in Talata Mafara for saying this joke, because on Sunday morning every week end by 8am to 2pm we restore light, and in a similar way, on Fridays by 12pm to 5pm we bring back light to cover up the Muslims' prayer time from 12:30pm to 2:30pm, which to us covers up the Muslims' needed hours of worship."

According to Mr. Sani's understanding, every customer is treated equally by the company regardless of the customer's religion.

He implored every customer to ask questions about what they don't know rather than "sitting in the comfort of their homes and making unfounded accusations"

"No customer will be prioritized because of his/her religion under my leadership" adding that Kaduna Electric is a trillion-naira business that welcomes everyone to participate in its business operations.

NDLEA PARTNERS AGP ON WAR AGAINST DRUGS ABUSE

Abdu Gusau Polytechnic, Talata Mafara, and the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have resolved to support each other in the fight against illicit drugs in the institution.

The NDLEA chief's visit aligns with the NDLEA's recent escalation in its brawl against drug abuse and trafficking. In comparison to his predecessors, he has taken the fight against drug abuse and trafficking more seriously since his appointment.

Numerous drug dealers, users and pushers are arrested almost every day in various parts of the country.

Mr. Eigege observed during the visit that there is a strong link between the use of illicit drugs and the likelihood of committing crime and criminality in any given society.

He noted that one of the ingredients fueling crime and criminality, particularly the country's ongoing insurgency and banditry activities, is the use of illicit drugs, which commonly distort the sanity of human psychology.

The state commander stated that his visit to the Abdu Gusau polytechnic was to solicit more support from the institution in order to eradicate the use and trade of illicit drugs in society, noting that "Satan steals senses, where there are youths easily to commit crime, as youths are the raw materials and drugs are the oxygen."

"We have gathered here today to lunch the war on drugs abuse (WADA) as it was lunched by the commander in chief, President Muhammad Buhari" in June 2021last year.

He sought a permanent structure of the drug-free club within the institution. That would be the platform for the continuous means of communication to the teaming youths about the potential dangers and health-harming effects of drugs. He assured the institution's leadership of his organization's full commitment to the fight against drug abuse.

While receiving the state commander, the rector of the polytechnic, Dr. Sha'ayau Shehu Mafara, Turakin Mafara, founder of the Imani foundation, commended the agency under the leadership of Mr. Eigege for its fight against drug abuse in the state and other successes in the war against drug abuse in the society.

According to the rector, the drug "pestilence is an unacceptable situation given the damage it has done to society's psyche"

The Rector thanked the commander for partnering with the institution at the state level to mitigate drug use, abuse, and trafficking.

"I will be in regular contact with the agency to provide our full support in eradicating the menace among youths, we must thank the agency for providing us with this opportunity; we truly appreciate your efforts this far." He added.

In the entourage of the state commander were the following: Deputy state commander; Assistant state commander, operations & training; and Assistant state commander, prosecution.

Others include: Assistant state commander in charge of the Talata Mafara Area command, Exhibit officer, and Public Relations Officer for the agency.
