Dayo Emmanuel<\/p>\n

Former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi has disagreed with the position of Zamfara State governor on the recent health challenge in the north western state.<\/p>\n

Zamfara State governor Abdulaziz Yari on Tuesday said that the meningitis outbreak in his state and others was God\u2019s punishment for people\u2019s\u2019 sins.<\/p>\n

But on Wednesday the Emir reacted to Yari\u2019s position criticizing \u00a0the conservative northern leaders for not pushing the development of the region.<\/p>\n

Sanusi spoke while delivering a keynote address at KADINVEST 2.0, an event organised by the Kaduna State Government to encourage investments as the economy suffers recession. According to the Emir, what exists in Northern Nigeria is \u201ca complete failure of social policy.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWe are fighting culture and we are fighting civilisation, For us to address social policy, we have to reclaim our religion,\u201d he said, also criticizing the ultra-conservative interpretation of Islam in some parts of Northern Nigeria that has discouraged girl-child education, family planning and other progressive policies.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, meningitis has caused the death of over 214 people in Zamfara of the total 336 people across Nigeria who have been lost to the situation.<\/p>\n

Correcting Yari\u2019s position, the former CBN Governor said, \u201cDon\u2019t give these kind of explanations, that is not an Islamically correct statement to make.
\nIf you don\u2019t have vaccines, you don\u2019t have vaccines; Go and get vaccines.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
