The Zamfara Commissioner of Information, Manir Haidara, has called on the state people to support Governor Dauda Lawal’s administration to succeed in its ‘rescue mission policies’.

Mr Haidara, in an interview in Gusau, the state capital, on Friday, said the rescue mission policy by Mr Lawal will promote the state to a greater level.

The commissioner, who described the ongoing infrastructure development projects in the state capital as welcome, said they were part of the rescue policy.

Mr Haidara said, “The urban renewal policy aims to promote sustainable infrastructure development in the state.

“You know the state government has engaged various road construction companies for the reconstruction of all major roads in the state capital.

“The sustainable infrastructure development has been a major problem of Zamfara since its creation. That is what informed Governor Dauda Lawal’s urban renewal policy.”

The commissioner said the state government is highly committed to funding all the projects to ensure timely completion.

“I am happy to inform people of the state that the infrastructure projects will cover all the state, and all the 14 LGAs will benefit from a certain project.

“We want to modernise the state capital so that to bring more development, you know, modernisation brings investment as the key to economic development,” Mr Haidara explained.

The commissioner called on the people to continue with fervent prayers to support Mr Lawal’s ongoing efforts against insecurity in the state.
