Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara has expressed satisfaction with the ongoing construction of the Zamfara International Airport.

The governor’s media aide, Sulaiman Idris, said this in a statement on Thursday.

Mr Idris said the governor toured and evaluated several ongoing projects, including the Zamfara airport, road projects, the state secretariat complex, and the renovation of schools in Gusau.

According to Mr Idris, the inspection is part of the governor’s approach to ensuring the quality of work and the timely delivery of projects.

The inspection began with General Hospital, Gusau, and then moved to other hospitals undergoing renovation and rehabilitation.

He also inspected the ongoing installation of various equipment across the 14 local government areas.

“While inspecting the Zamfara International Airport project, the governor said his administration is constructing not just an ordinary airport but a modern facility that stands out by all standards,” Mr Idris said.
