Ajiya, represented by the secretary  of  the  council,  Alhaji Kamal Adamu Shuaibu, stated this  at a one-day programme on security awareness  and the role of political  and traditional  institutions in the  area council organised  by the  FCT  National Orientation  Agency (NOA) on Thursday. 

He urged traditional rulers to embrace all their subjects irrespective of their religious, ethnic or political differences.

The chairman further advised  the participants to  imbibe the culture of tolerating and respecting  one another, saying people  of Abaji have always loved and embraced strangers in the area. 

Also speaking,  the FCT director of NOA,  David Manya Dogo, said no society  would develop when there  was no peace and understanding among the  people. 

He  called on the traditional rulers  to always ensure  that they are security  conscious all around their  domains.
