Emir of Zauzau Anticipates Salary Increase for Rulers

The Emir of Zauzau stated that he expects a salary increment for traditional rulers in the state, as communicated by Governor Senator Uba Sani and the commissioner, which has been in the works for approximately seven months. The Emir noted that the current salaries and allowances for traditional rulers are significantly lower compared to other emirates, and any increase would provide relief during challenging economic times.

He has served as Emir since October 7 and has maintained a cooperative relationship with the state government, participating in various meetings with agencies, including NGOs and the National Orientation Agency. The Emir also highlighted the success of their alternative dispute resolution (ADR) strategy, which has resolved over 2,000 cases outside conventional courts in the past two years.

Additionally, he mentioned a recent visit from Christian leaders who expressed gratitude for the peaceful coexistence among different tribes in the emirate, acknowledging the Emir's leadership approach.
