Vice President Kashim Shettima has indicated the Federal Government’s intention to reconstruct Tudun Biri village in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State, which suffered damage from a drone misfire by the Nigerian military.

VP Shettima conveyed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has instructed the initiation of the Pullako Initiative in Kaduna State, encompassing a comprehensive package for Tudun Biri community. The compensation package includes residences, clinics, schools, veterinary facilities, empowerment programs, solar energy, and more, aiming to address the destruction caused by the drone misfire.

The Vice President shared this information on Thursday after visiting victims of the incident at the Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital in Kaduna State, where many casualties, primarily women and children, are currently undergoing treatment.

Shettima also directed the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to mobilize and provide substantial assistance to the victims of the tragedy in Tudun Biri village.

Announcing President Tinubu’s decision to rebuild the community, VP Shettima who spoke at a meeting with leaders and other stakeholders of the community said, “Most importantly, the President approved the commencement of the Pullako Initiative by next month. The Pullako Initiative is the President’s unique response as a non-kinetic approach to the challenges in the North West.

“Beneficiary states are Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Katsina, Kaduna, and for the purpose of equity and justice, we deliberately included Niger and Benue States.

“Actually, our intent was to kick off the programme in Sokoto, but in the light of recent development, the President directed that the Pullako Initiative should be kick-started here in Kaduna State. And Tudun Biri will be the first beneficiary of that scheme. We are going to build houses that will complement the efforts of the Right Honorable Speaker.

“But ours is a complete package as well, including houses, clinics, schools, veterinary clinics, empowerment initiatives and solar energy. It’s a complete package of solutions as a non-kinetic response to the problems of banditry and kidnapping in the North West.”

The Vice President also noted that President Tinubu is worried about the tragic incident, just as he pointed out that away from the number of casualties, it is gruesome to lose even one life.
