Minister of State for Defence, Dr Bello Matawalle, has concluded a six-day visit to Zamfara State, providing much-needed relief and hope to communities facing economic hardships.
In a statement released on Friday by the Zamfara APC Akida (ZAA) through its publicity secretary, Comrade Abdullahi Kurya, the visit was hailed as a “milestone” in addressing the region’s pressing challenges and reaffirming the federal government’s commitment to underserved areas.
“The visit, accompanied by Senator Abdul Aziz Yari, featured impactful engagements and life-changing interventions, highlighting the federal government’s dedication to alleviating poverty and meeting the needs of the people,” Kurya stated.
The ministerial delegation spent three days each in Gusau and Maradun, distributing essential palliatives aimed at mitigating the economic hardships faced by residents.
These interventions, according to Kurya, provided immediate relief and instilled gratitude and optimism within the affected communities.
“This visit symbolizes a stark contrast between past challenges and the new era of hope under the current administration,” the statement continued.
The group also emphasized the federal government’s efforts to uplift conflict-affected regions like Zamfara, citing the dualization of the Zaria-Sokoto Road as a flagship project under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. This initiative showcases the government’s commitment to infrastructure and economic development in the North West.
“The ongoing dualization of the Zaria-Sokoto Road exemplifies the administration’s dedication to enhancing connectivity and boosting economic activities in the region,” Kurya added.
