Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, has sworn in sole administrators for the 14 Local Government Areas.
Speaking at the ceremony at the J. B. Yakubu Secretariat in Gusau, Lawal charged the sole administrators to uphold the guiding principles of the government’s Rescue Mission project.
According to a statement on Friday by the Governor’s spokesperson, Sulaiman Bala Idris, the Governor also tasked them to work hard to justify the enormous confidence reposed in them.
Idris noted further that the sole administrators were reminded of the administration’s mission to ensure full implementation of policies and programmes that will assist in the positive transformation of the people’s well-being, particularly on security and infrastructure development issues.
The statement said, “Governor Lawal, while addressing the sole administrators, said that the guiding principles in appointing them were competence, dedication and experience.
“These qualities are the foundation upon which they are entrusted with the responsibility to oversee the affairs of the Local Government Councils pending the completion of all necessary preparations for the local government elections by the State Independent Electoral Commission.
“The sole administrators were carefully selected to run the affairs of the local governments in recognition of their honesty, integrity, valuable contributions to their respective communities and support to rescuing Zamfara from the morass of ineptitude and impunity.
“The Governor further tasked them to work very hard to justify the enormous confidence reposed in them. “This is important, considering the role of the local government as the third tier of government and the closest to the people.
“He charged them to form a formidable team and work closely with the secretaries of their councils and councillors.
“The sole administrators who will serve for a period of six months were presented with appointment letters by Governor Dauda Lawal.”
