From Olanrewaju Lawal, Birnin Kebbi
The Emir of Yauri, Dr Muhammad Zayyanu Abdullahi, has lauded the efforts of Kebbi State Governor, Dr Nasir Idris, on security and development in the state.
According to the Emir, Governor Nasir Idris’s administration achieved more in one year than other governments did in eight years.
The royal father stated this during an interview in Yauri on the first anniversary of Dr Nasir Idris’s administration.
He said, “As I have been saying, what this government did in one year is more than what other governments did in eight years. That is a sign that more developments will come, most importantly on security.”
He said it is the mandate of federal and state governments to make sure there is security everywhere because without security, nothing tangible will be achieved.
Abdullahi applauded the efforts and the serious determination of the governor to ensure peace, not only in his domain but across the entire state.
“Before this government came, the insurgents started to cross over from other places to Yauri. What they wanted was to make a camp here, so that those they kidnapped from other places, they bring them down here.
“Fortunately, the governor is serious about this issue; he took active measures by establishing a military camp in strategic areas so that we have peace,” he said.

The Yauri monarch said that as a result of Governor Nasir Idris’s efforts on security, farmers have gone back to their farms, while traders are shuttling from one market to another, doing their business without hindrance.
“The most important thing any government can do first is to ensure peace and security, and Kaura did that. Security is not the monopoly of one person; we have to support the governor,” he appealed.
Dr Zayyanu was also appreciative of the efforts of the governor towards providing infrastructural development in Yauri.
He cited the construction of a secondary school and an additional five kilometres of township roads in Yauri as part of the giant strides of Dr Nasir Idris’s administration in the Yauri Emirate.
He said, “There is a spread of development; he didn’t concentrate only on one area alone.”
