Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle, has distributed 260 cars to the state’s traditional rulers.
The distribution was carried out at the Government House in Gusau by the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar.
Governor Matawalle stated that the gesture was made in recognition of the traditional institutions’ status as custodians of our religion and culture, as well as a vehicle of cohesion and peace in our societies.
“It is in view of the high esteem with which my administration regards our traditional leaders and institutions that we decided to procure brand new cars, Cadillac 2019 Model, for 17 Emirs, 13 Senior District Heads and 230 District Heads across the State”, the Governor said.
Governor Matawalle assured that his administration will continue to work with traditional and religious leaders to ensure lasting peace and harmony in the state.
“I would like to assure you that my administration will continue to work in line with the mission of uplifting the dignity and sanctity of our traditional institutions through all possible means,” he said.
“We are currently rehabilitating and reconstructing some of the palaces of our emirs across the State. Some of these projects would soon be completed.”
