Governor Idris Promises To Promote Cultural Festivals

Governor of Kebbi State, Nasir Idris, has promised to give more attention to cultural festivals to promote peace, unity and brotherliness among the people of the state.

He made the pledge during the launch of a book on the history of Yauri Kingdom from 1411 to 2014 in Yauri Emirate of the state.

At the event which was part of the third edition of Rigata Cultural Festival organised by Yauri Emirate, Governor Idris said festivals remained key to people’s identity.

The governor recalled that he earned different traditional titles from different emirates across the state in view of his respect for traditional institutions.

He enjoined those who made pledges during the launch to redeem them so that it would serve the purpose it was meant for.

Over N85 million was realised during the launch.
