Security is necessary, and so is effective public administration. Civic and development organisations like @kafartng should not have to bear the consequences of coordination gaps without consideration. @officialABAT @GovKaduna @NGRPresident @KDSG_MBIT
namse udosen retweeted
What makes this particularly unfortunate is that @GovKaduna had demonstrated a willingness to accommodate our event, even with a day or two’s disruption. Yet, presidential security protocols ultimately took precedence over our existing arrangements. Because that's to be believed

@kafartng, scheduled for Oct. 22–25 in Kaduna, has had to postpone because the venue administrators said the space was no longer available, owing to the @officialABAT presidential campaign rally scheduled for Oct. 24. The decision has real costs. @NGRPresident
