Vice President Kashim Shettima has called for stronger ties between the Federal Government and traditional institutions. 

He reaffirmed the commitment of the President Bola Tinubu administration to engaging royal fathers as key stakeholders in national development and social cohesion.

Speaking on Friday during a visit to Ningi Emirate in Bauchi State, the Vice President offered condolences for the late Emir of Ningi, HRH Alhaji Yunusa Muhammed DanYaya.

Senator Shettima also congratulated the newly installed Emir, HRH Alhaji Haruna Yunusa Danyaya, who is the eldest son of the late Emir, noting that traditional “institutions are not only the custodians of our cultures, values, and history but the very backbone of our society.”

He pointed out that traditional institutions play a crucial role in maintaining national unity, societal stability, and serve as a reminder of the nation’s origins as well as offer inspiration to see the essence of our diversity.
