By: Abubakar Labaran Kafanchan

The Emir of Jama’a Emirate, Alhaji Dr. Muhammad Isah Muhammadu, organized an Iftar (breaking of fast) dinner for stakeholders in his emirate and surrounding areas.  

The event, held at his palace in Kafanchan, Jema'a Local Government Area of Kaduna State during the weekend, saw the Emir commend his subjects for fostering enduring peace in the region through their devotion to God, particularly during the 2025 Ramadan fasting period.  

Alhaji Muhammadu highlighted the resolve of adherents of the two major religions—Islam and Christianity—to coexist peacefully and urged them to sustain this harmony to attract divine blessings to the area.  

The traditional ruler expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu, Kaduna State Governor Senator Uba Sani, and lawmakers from the zone for facilitating the establishment of the Federal University of Applied Sciences, Kachia, and the Federal Medical Center, Kafanchan. He also acknowledged the efforts of the Chairman of Jema’a Local Government Council, Mr. Peter Tanko Dogara, in promoting harmonious and peaceful coexistence among all residents through inclusive events that transcend religious divides.  

In his address, the Chairman of Jema’a Local Government, Honourable Peter Tanko Dogara, reiterated his administration’s commitment to consolidating the existing peace in the area to attract developmental projects, particularly road networks, to boost socioeconomic growth.  

The Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Jema’a Local Government chapter, Venerable Emmanuel Markus, praised the Emir for his inclusive leadership and efforts to attract infrastructure to the region. He specifically commended the monarch’s advocacy for the establishment of the Federal Medical Center, Kafanchan, and called on other stakeholders to emulate his dedication.  

Similarly, the Jema’a chapter of Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI), represented by Alhaji Abubakar Hassan, lauded the Emir for uniting the people of Southern Kaduna during the holy month of Ramadan. Alhaji Hassan described the gathering as a testament to the unity and peace enjoyed in the region and appealed to Kaduna State Governor Senator Uba Sani to complete ongoing projects to accelerate development in Southern Kaduna.
