Nasiru El-Rufai, governor of Kaduna state, has set up a nine-man committee to produce a white paper on the report of the judicial commission of inquiry into the army/Shiites clash.

Samuel Aruwan, media aide to the governor, disclosed this in a statement.

The statement said the committee would commence work immediately and submit the draft white paper within two weeks.

The committee is headed by Adamu Mansur, permanent secretary, ministry of education.

The governor also mandated the committee to make any other recommendation that would assist government in addressing issues raised in the report.

The committee members are the permanent secretaries of the ministries of environment and natural resources, works, housing and transport, local government, cabinet affairs and special services.

The clash, which occurred in Zaria last December, left many people dead.
