Late Emir of Borgu’s family seeks presidential intervention over unauthorised use of land
The family of the late Emir of Borgu in Niger State, Senator Haliru Dantoro, has appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing to address the unauthorised use of their family land by Gilmor Engineering Nigeria Limited.
The family spokesperson, Murtala Dantoro, who spoke to The Nation, said the land in question located in New Bussa, Borgu Kingdom, is being used by Gilmor Engineering as a quarry site for the rehabilitation of federal government’s 79km New Bussa-Kaiama road since 2019.
“The contract for this project was awarded by the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing in 2019, yet at no point were any family members consulted about the use of our land for quarry extraction.
