The Zamfara State House of Assembly has confirmed the extension of the tenure of the state’s fourteen Local government Councils Interim Administrators by another six months.
This followed the report presented by Special Committee led by the Deputy Speaker, Adamu Aliyu Gummi mandated to screen the Local government Interim Administrators before their confirmation.
All the Fourteen Local government Interim Administrators appeared before the Committee during the screening exercise.
It would be recalled that on the 24 April, 2024, Governor Dauda Lawal sent a message through the Secretary to the State Government, Abubakar Nakwada addressed to the Clerk of the House, Mahmud Aliyu seeking the House to confirm Local government Interim Administrators for another tenure as required by the Law.
The development necessitated the House under the Speaker, Bilyaminu Moriki to invite all the Councils Interim Administrators for Cross-examination to ensure Justice and Fairness in the Confirmation Process.
After an extensive deliberation, the Speaker Ismail Moriki announced that, with unanimous consent of the entire Members, the House has approved and confirmed the extension of Fourteen Local government Interim Administrators for another Six Months as requested by the State Governor Dauda Lawal.
Speaker Isma’il Moriki charged all the Fourteen Local government Interim Administrators to Justify the confidence reposed in them by ensuring good and quality leadership in their various Local Government Areas.
