Bello Matawalle Praises Tinubu for Key Road Project

Bello Matawalle, the Minister of State for Defence, commended President Bola Tinubu for the ongoing construction of the Zaria-Funtua-Gusau-Sokoto dual carriageway, which he stated would significantly boost economic activities, improve transportation, and enhance security in the North-West zone upon completion. Matawalle expressed these sentiments in a goodwill message marking the 30th anniversary of Zamfara State's creation and Nigeria’s 66th Independence anniversary.

The message was issued in Gusau by Yusuf Idris Gusau, the publicity secretary of the Matawalle Political Standing Committee. He acknowledged the contributions of past leaders, including the state’s first Military Administrator, Col. Jibril Bala Yakubu (rtd), and former governors, while also paying tribute to the late Gen. Sani Abacha, who created Zamfara State in 1996.

Matawalle reaffirmed his commitment to the development of Zamfara and expressed his readiness to collaborate with Governor Dauda Lawal. He urged residents to support the Tinubu administration and expressed optimism for the All Progressives Congress's success in the 2027 general elections.
