The brain behind NIRA, Henry A Ogwudu while speaking to newsmen said NIRA will be used as a medium to appreciate the royal fathers for the efforts because they have gone a long way to make our nation better today, adding that traditional rulers play major roles in the judicial system and thereby ensuring peace and justice in the nation.
Unfortunately, the Nigeria as a nation hasn’t done much to appreciate their traditional rulers which is why NIRA is here to bridge the gap. Those who lost their live trying to make the nation a better place should be recognize as heroes.Appreciating our traditional rulers will give them more strength to foster their traditional responsibilities.
