Peace, safety and living in harmony is the way forward
Visited Bauchi, made the same points to the Governor and his team and to His Royal Highness, The Emir of Bauchi, expressing concern about the violence, saying that all citizens should have equal rights and all those responsible for ethnic and religious violence should be brought to justice.
Both agreed, quoting the Bible and Koran and saying peace and safety and living in harmony was the way forward.
Visited the tomb of Nigeria’s first Prime Minister, Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa.
Also visited Yankari wildlife reserve, which has had a lot of recent investment from the State, including a new road and upgraded accommodation. Beautiful hot springs make it different. I would say it has particular potential to attract bird lovers.
The elephants (over 300?) were dispersed because of the recent rains. Very old caves and iron smelting show this was a centre for very early human civilisation.
