Representing the beneficiaries, Mohammed Auwal, the chairman of the former Malali Low-Cost residents, expressed gratitude to the governor for responding to their long-standing issues. He noted that the affected residents had been seeking compensation for nearly nine years and praised KADGIS for facilitating the new land allocations.
Other residents voiced their appreciation for Governor Sani’s compassionate and community-oriented leadership.
The demolitions occurred in October 2020 when the Kaduna State Development and Property Company (KSDPC) issued a seven-day quit notice to residents. While protests initially delayed the demolitions, a subsequent three-day notice in March 2021 resulted in the destruction of over 80 buildings. Since then, the displaced homeowners have repeatedly engaged with the state government for compensation or alternative land options.
