President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday said the Federal Government was collaborating with the National Assembly to create constitutional roles for traditional rulers in the country. He made this known in his message to a two-day South-East and South-South Traditional Rulers Retreat in Enugu. Jonathan, who was represented by the Minister of Special Duties, Alhaji Kabir Turaki, said that additional roles for traditional rulers were necessary to enable them to contribute to nation building. According to him, the roles will also ensure better involvement and participation of the monarchs in issues of governance and administration in the country. In his speech, the Sultan of Sokoto, Dr Muhammad Abubakar IV, declared the readiness of traditional rulers to assist governments in the country in the discharge of their duties. - See more at: abujavoice/jonathan-promises-constitutional-role-for-traditional-rulers/#sthash.HjCtW6HG.dpuf
