Zamfara Assembly Extends Tenure Of LG Administrators By 6 Months

The Zamfara State House of Assembly has approved a six-month extension to the tenure of local government council interim administrators in the state.

Upon receiving the Governor’s letter, the House invited all the 14 interim administrators for screening.

The Speaker, Honourable Bilyaminu Moriki, announced the unanimous approval of the House and confirmation of extension of the 14 Local government interim administrators for another six months as requested by Governor Lawal.

Hon. Moriki charged them to justify the confidence reposed in them by ensuring justice and fairplay to the people in their respective LGAs.
