The traditional ruler said: “Jigawa is the most peaceful state in the country.
“We do not have the problem of bandits, Boko Haram insurgents, and other dissident groups because our local communities are well taken care of. The traditional institution is supported by the state government in making people aware of the need for peaceful co-existence.”
“We have in the palace a whole department dedicated to conflict resolutions and one of the district heads is in charge of the department. We treat between 3,000 to 4,000 cases of dispute in a month and this has helped to reduce drastically the need for people to go to court.”

The Emir added that the state government under the leadership of Gov. Badaru Abubakar was supporting peasant farmers who constituted the larger population of the state.
He said the state had invested so much to encourage peasant farmers and ensuring that people engaged, thereby shunning crime. The traditional ruler called on other state governors particularly in the North East and North Central to take a cue from Jigawa to rid the country of violent crimes.
He also called on the Federal Government to continue to support agriculture to keep people engaged and overcome the high cost of living.
