el-Rufai stated that he was confident and sure of the propriety of his administration’s actions.
Said he: ”My message to all those that have almajiris in Kaduna state, you have a choice to relocate otherwise sooner or later we will get you”.
He said the government had developed and approved a social protection policy to support the most vulnerable.
Observed el-Rufai: “Politicians often get involved with their ‘slot mentality’, and when we give them those slots, they don’t give them to the poorest”.
el-Rufai said the social investment office has been working across the 24 local government areas to have a comprehensive social register of the poorest.
The governor added that more than one million households in Kaduna have been registered.
