Bello Matawalle Zamfara State governor
Zamfara State governor, Bello Matawalle, has charged the newly appointed 14 Local Government Sole Administrators to secure their areas from banditry.
This was even as he directed each one of the appointees to swear by the Holy Qur’an that he would not be involved in any form of banditry.
He made this known during the swearing-in of the newly appointed Sole Administrators in Gusau on Wednesday.
According to him, “your performance in your new role will have an equal impact on future decisions to entrust you with other responsibilities. Therefore, rather than celebrating, you should view this as a challenge.”
He noted that “As Chief Executives of your respective Local Governments, let me remind you here that you are assuming office at a time we are taking more drastic steps to address the over a decade long security challenge of banditry.”
“Therefore, you must work hand in hand with the security agencies in your localities to ensure strict compliance with Executive Order number 001 of 2021, which I signed on the 26th August 2021. The security of lives and property of our people is the topmost.”
“We made it mandatory for everyone taking public office to swear an oath disassociating themselves with banditry because we value the integrity of individuals who will be entrusted with public responsibility.”
“Having taken the pledge, you are fully aware of the consequences of breaking it. Therefore, you are expected to wholly commit yourselves to this all-important mission of salvaging our state from this formidable challenge.”
“We will not hesitate to sanction any one of you found wanting in the discharge of his responsibilities.”
“You must work hard to put the local governments on the right track of development and not allow yourselves to be influenced by self-serving and greedy individuals. You should be just and fair to everyone.”
The newly appointed Sole Administrators are Dr Aminu Sulaiman Yarkufoji, Bakura, Ahmed Balarabe, Anka, Kabiru Ladan Maigoro, Birnin-Magaji, Bashiru Muawiya Bukkuyum, Mohammed Saddiq Maiturare, Bungudu Abubakar Shehu Daki-Takwas, Gummi Sanusi Mohammed Sarki, Gusau.
Others are Nasiru Altine Yakamata, Kauran Namoda, Umaru Muazu Naabu, Maradun, Salisu Isa D/Gulbi, Maru, Abdulrahman Bala, Shinkafi, Dahiru Maiyara Garbadu, Talata-Mafara, Aminu Mudi, Tsafe, Dr Auwal Ahmad Bawa Moriki, Zurmi.
