In deference to the judgment of the Industrial Court, Governor Uba Sani has reinstated the Chief of Piriga Chiefdom, Jonathan Paragua Zamuna, in Lere Local Council of Kaduna State.

Speaking at the Council Chambers of Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, yesterday, before handing Zamuna his appointment letter, the governor restated his administration’s belief in the rule of law, due process, and justice.

Recall that the National Industrial Court in Kaduna nullified Zamuna’s removal and deposition as Chief of Piriga on June 14, 2024, labelling the action as “null and void.”

Specifically, it issued an order “restoring the claimant to his appointment and office as the Chief of Piriga Chiefdom in Lere Local Government Area of Kaduna State with all his salaries, allowances, entitlements, and benefits of the office thereof.”

He described the Governor as a blessing to Kaduna State, adding that his leadership is characterised by ‘’less rancour, less acrimony, less agitation, and fewer bandit attacks.’’
