Governor Dauda Lawal marked Zamfara State's 30th anniversary with project commissioning, declaring his rescue mission is transforming the state from despair to transparent, sustainable development.
Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State has declared that his administration's rescue mission is transforming the state across critical sectors. He made the declaration while beginning a series of events and project commissioning to mark Zamfara State's 30th Anniversary.
Zamfara Marks 30th Anniversary
The Governor said Zamfara State has moved from despair to an era of clear execution, transparency, and sustainable development. He spoke at the National Independence Day parade and Zamfara at 30 celebration held at the Trade Fair Complex, Gusau. The anniversary events and project commissioning were attended by the Pioneer Military Administrator of Zamfara State, Col. Jibril Bala Yakubu (Rtd.
), former governors Ahmad Sani Yarima and Mahmud Aliyu Shinkafi, and other dignitaries. Governor Lawal said, Since Zamfara State was created on October 1, 1996, Alhamdulillah for Allah's grace, mercy, and protection that have guided us through trials and triumphs, uniting us in a shared destiny.
As we watched our gallant security forces, paramilitary agencies, vibrant students and youth march in unity on the parade ground, we were reminded of the resilience that defines the Nigerian spirit and, most specifically, the strength of character of our people. We must reflect intentionally on the profound sacrifices of our founding fathers, who fought tirelessly to break the chains of colonial rule and give birth to a free, sovereign nation.
We owe them an eternal debt of gratitude for protecting this country's unity, peace, and territorial integrity. As we look forward to the next decade, we must understand that true independence demands collective responsibility. Government alone can't do this. I call on traditional rulers, religious scholars, civil servants, traders, and our resilient youth to unite.
Renewed Secretariat for Efficient Governance
We must set aside divisions, ethnic, political, sectarian, and protect the peace we fought for. Governor Lawal commissioned phase III of the renovated and modernised J.B. Yakubu Secretariat in Gusau. He said the renovation was part of efforts to rebuild government institutions and create a modern, efficient, technology-enabled and results-oriented public service for Zamfara State.
The J.B. Yakubu Secretariat houses critical Ministries, Departments and Agencies whose responsibilities span virtually every aspect of governance and service delivery. The Governor said modernising the Secretariat will deepen coordination among MDAs, strengthen communication, promote institutional synergy, and support faster, more effective implementation of government decisions. The occasion is significant as we welcome His Excellency, Col.
Jibril Bala Yakubu (Rtd. ), Zamfara's pioneer Military Administrator, after whom this Secretariat is named. As Zamfara marks thirty years since its creation, it's fitting that a leader from our foundation is here to witness this milestone, he added. The pioneer Military Administrator of Zamfara State, Col.
Infrastructure Gains and Mosque Reconstruction
Jibril Bala Yakubu (Rtd. ), lauded Governor Lawal's giant strides, particularly in infrastructure, education, and health. On the same day, His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Sa'ad Abubakar III, CFR, mni, commissioned the reconstructed and remodelled Jumu'at Mosque (Yardole) and its attached shopping complex.
The mosque, named after Malam Sambo Dan Ashafa, a renowned Islamic scholar and companion of the great Mujaddadi and leader of the 1st Sokoto Jihad, Sheikh Uthman Ibn Fodiyo, will also serve as an Islamic and research learning centre.
