By Chukwudi Nweje
Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State has said his administration is set to implement a road map that will see the state emerge from years of banditry and utter neglect of governance to placing priority on rebuilding communities shattered by years of insecurity. The governor said he hopes to achieve that by engaging in projects of urban and rural development that will fast-track full recovery of the stat.
This was stated by the state’s Commissioner of Information and Culture, Hon. Mannir Mu’azu Haidara in Lagos.
The commissioner noted that Governor Lawal remains firm in his position of not negotiating with bandits and supporting all the security agencies in the effort to rid the state of rampaging bandits.
“For Governor Lawal, there is no going back on never negotiating with bandits and putting all commitment to making sure that people of Zamfara State live without the fear of being attacked. The top priority of Governor Dauda Lawal is making Zamfara State secure and free from years of insecurity, Mannir Mu’azu Haidara said.
On governance, the commissioner said the present administration under the leadership of the governor is currently restoring sanity, adding that the first thing he did was making sure that the three months unpaid salaries of workers left by the last administration are settled, while also giving attention to efforts to settle all other entitlements of workers.
The commissioner said right now, some projects of urban development have started and are ongoing even as more will be embarked upon in both urban and rural areas.
On education, the commissioner pointed out that a plan is in place to make sure that its quality is improved across all levels and learning environment upgraded to befitting level.
“Years of bad governance had left Zamfara behind in many years. Now, Governor Dauda Lawal has taken the daunting task of creating a new Zamfara that will be on track of progress and development. It is a huge task that will require a lot of resources but Gov. Dauda Lawal has the will and the massive support of the people of Zamfara State to make this possible,” the Commissioner said.
The commissioner called on the media and other stakeholders to lend support to the administration of Gov. Lawal which is on a mission to rescue Zamfara state and its people.
