Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State has declared that his administration's rescue mission is yielding positive results across various sectors in the state. On Thursday, the governor initiated a series of events and project commissioning to commemorate Zamfara State's 30th anniversary. The event was attended by notable figures, including the pioneer Military Administrator of Zamfara State, Colonel Jibril Bala Yakubu (rtd), former governors Ahmed Sani Yarima and Mahmud Aliyu Shinkafi, and other dignitaries.

The governor called on traditional rulers, religious scholars, civil servants, traders, and youth to unite and protect the peace.
On Friday, Governor Lawal commissioned phase III of the renovated and modernized J B Yakubu Secretariat in Gusau. The project aims to rebuild government institutions and create a modern, efficient, technology-enabled Public Service for Zamfara State.
