The newly elected executives of the Gwandara Development, Educational and Cultural Association (GWADECA), Kaduna State Branch, have been inaugurated with a charge to foster unity, mobilize resources, and work collectively towards the advancement of the association and the Gwandara people.
The inauguration ceremony, held at Kagom in Godogodo Chiefdom, attracted sons and daughters of Gwandara from across Kaduna State and beyond.
Administering the oath of office, Barrister Ibrahim Salisu urged the new officials, who emerged from elections conducted in April, to discharge their responsibilities with integrity and commitment.
In a goodwill message, the National President of GWADECA, Dr. John Mamman, represented by the National Vice President, Alhaji Jibril Imam Karshi, congratulated the new executives and charged them to promote the cultural heritage of the Gwandara people while prioritizing education, security, and campaigns against drug abuse among youths.
He noted that the Gwandara people are spread across the Federal Capital Territory, Kaduna, Niger, and Nasarawa States, warning that the national leadership would not tolerate poor performance or negligence from any state executive.
In separate remarks, the District Head of Karshi, Reverend Joel Galadima, and the District Head of Godogodo, Musa Bawa, pledged their support to the new leadership and urged the executives to work closely with traditional institutions while justifying the confidence reposed in them.
In his acceptance speech, the newly inaugurated Chairman of GWADECA, Kaduna State Branch, Prince Emmanuel Sunday, thanked members for the mandate given to the new executive and pledged to operate an open-door policy that would promote inclusiveness and collective progress.
He said the administration would focus on educational development, unity, and the preservation of the Gwandara cultural heritage, while calling on all Gwandara sons and daughters to set aside their differences and work together for the common good.
Prince Emmanuel also commended the Kaduna State Government for its developmental efforts and appealed to the government to consider creating a Gwandara Chiefdom to give the ethnic group a greater sense of belonging.
He further urged Gwandara people to remain peaceful, law-abiding, and supportive of governments at the local, state, and federal levels to attract more development to their communities.
