NEWSDAILYNIGERIA: Any development by the government that failed to consider the plights of the natives, may later become a nightmare. The neglect of the land owners in failing to go along with them, after their land in some cases were forcefully acquired, may pose danger to the projects and those coming to benefit from such.

The reckless abandonment by various government in the wellness of the category, are part of the things that brought insecurities and danger. When the authority failed to take the necessary steps to court such class and empower them, we may be guilty of inhumanity. While their only means of livelihood are forcefully taken from them, without any alternative, they felt bad and concluded that they are been cheated. Their inheritance which is farming may soon go into history, because of non availability of land to farm.

Government on the other hand, allocated the vast land to developers who left the natives without any provision for them to better their lives and their children. They woke up in their huts everyday to find modern building’s in their environment, without anything for them to feel as been part of the new life. This coming of Mansions and Plazas to their land had only become a curse rather than a blessing.

Every development must carry along many unusual things including insecurity, and the failure of government to provide the villagers with development such as roads, hospital, schools, market, pipe water and electricity to change their lives for better is unacceptable. Most importantly, is the activity of those developers who were allocated with vast portion of land, only to fence it and left for kidnappers and bandits to operate freely. Such development must first think about the security, build security around the Area and empower the natives with the aforementioned. These suggestions is not limited to the Millennium City alone in Kaduna, but other villages within the entire State. The developers have also failed in what they know are of public interest, which are part of the agreement between the government and the developers. When you create a new city without carrying the early settlers along may create insecurities, such as we are facing now.

The Uba Sani government should as a matter of urgency prioritize the building of Secondary Schools, Health Centers, Security Outfits, Village markets in those villages in the surrounding of the villages. Another area the present government in Kaduna State should do is to revive the morbound industries across the local government in the state, built by the government of late Abdulkadir Balarabe Musa in order to provide job opportunities to many unemployed in the entire state. To write your name in Gold and History to be kind to your government, there is the need to act fastly Sir.
