Alh. Mohammed Nasiru, the Zamfara state coordinator, made this statement while actively participating in the ongoing L-PRES Implementation Support Mission (ISM) in Yola, Adamawa State. The mission brings together state project coordinators, technical experts, and the World Bank Mission team to review project implementation progress.

During the mission, Nasiru presented the state's implementation progress report, highlighting major achievements recorded by the state. The report showcased the significant progress made in various aspects of the project, including the construction and rehabilitation of livestock development infrastructures across the state.
According to Nasiru, the project has achieved notable successes in capacity building and trainings for project beneficiaries, input support to livestock farmers, and statewide livestock vaccination exercises. The technical sessions provided participating states with the opportunity to engage with the mission team on implementation experiences, achievements, challenges, and priority actions. This exchange of information enables states to learn from one another and address common challenges.
The Task Team Leader (TTL) and the National Project Coordinator (NPC) of L-PRES commended the Zamfara L-PRES team for its outstanding performance. They particularly highlighted the high quality of livestock infrastructure delivered by the state, describing Zamfara as one of the performing states in the implementation of L-PRES projects in Nigeria. This recognition underscores the state's commitment to effective project implementation.
