Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, has commissioned the remodelled JB Yakubu Secretariat in Gusau, Zamfara State, as part of the state's 30th anniversary celebrations. The commissioning took place on Friday and was attended by past governors of the state, including Ahmad Yarima and Mahmud Shinkafi, as well as Colonel Jibril Bala Yakubu, the Emir of Wuse. The event marked a significant milestone in the state's development, with the remodelled secretariat aimed at providing a better working environment for state workers.
The remodelled secretariat was originally built in 1997 by Colonel Jibril Bala Yakubu, who was the first Military Administrator of the state. During the commissioning, Yakubu expressed his joy at seeing the changes that had taken place in the state, saying he could no longer recognise the secretariat. He praised Governor Lawal for his rebuilding agenda and urged the people of Zamfara to support him and work towards unity.

He promised to continue consolidating on their efforts and to ensure development in all aspects. The governor also highlighted the significance of the project, saying it would enable workers to render quality services to the people of Zamfara.
The commissioning of the remodelled secretariat is part of the state's efforts to invest in infrastructure and open up the state for capital projects and improved investment. The project is expected to have a positive impact on the state's development and to provide a better working environment for state workers.
