The Emir of Anka and the chairman of the Zamfara State Council of Chiefs, Alhaji Attahiru Muhammad Ahmad, has said that the declaration of Zamfara State as a “No-fly-zone” and banning of mining across the state by the federal government was not in the best interest of the people of the state.
The Emir, who spoke during a visit of the service chiefs to the state led by the chief of defense staff, Gen. Lucky Irabor, Ahmad said the declaration of Zamfara State as a No-fly zone would only cripple the socio-economic development of the state.
