The Emir of Kano, His Royal Highness Khalifah Muhammadu Sanusi II, has expressed satisfaction with the performance of Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, particularly in education, healthcare, security and infrastructure development.
The Emir made the remarks during the commissioning of the rebuilt and equipped Zawiyya Mosque and Islamiyya School in Gusau, where he served as the guest of honour.
The Zawiyya is one of the oldest Islamic institutions in Zamfara State, with a long history of producing Islamic scholars across various fields.
In his remarks at the ceremony, the Emir said only those familiar with the former structure of the institution could fully appreciate the scale and quality of the reconstruction carried out under Governor Lawal.
He commended the governor for what he described as impressive work across key sectors, saying he was pleased to see him translating his experience and capabilities into governance.
“I can see the good work you are doing in Zamfara State in education, health, security, and infrastructure,” the Emir said.
He added that he had known Governor Lawal since his days in the banking industry and was therefore not surprised by his performance in office.
“I am not surprised, as I have known your governor since his days in the banking industry. I know his capabilities, and I am impressed by his performance and happy to see him doing such wonderful work as governor,” he said.
The Emir also urged the management and worshippers to ensure proper maintenance of the reconstructed mosque, stressing the importance of cleanliness in places of worship.
Earlier, during the Friday sermon, Professor Ibrahim Maqari emphasised peaceful coexistence among communities and the need to maintain cleanliness, particularly in religious institutions.
The commissioning marks another addition to the state's religious and educational infrastructure under the Lawal administration.
