Dosara revealed that government would ensure people are fully informed of government programmes and policies for the development of the state.
Dosara said, “the state government had paid N5 million out of the initial N37 million debt since last year.
“Governor Bello Matawalle is a responsible governor of the highest order and congratulated the people of the state for having a responsible and highly responsive governor like him and urged the people of the state to continue praying for the governor for more blessings to the state.”
“Our governor is committed to meeting people’s expectations and exceeding such, and this can also be likened to the way he promptly paid off the UBEC counterpart fund, which led to several achievements in the sector,” he added.
Periscope Nigeria reports that Governor Matawalle just won National honour award from the government of Niger Republic and other honours from Togo University and the Kaigaman Ghana traditional title is a clear demonstration of him being an ‘Exceptional Governor.’
Dosara added, “The Governor has been releasing funds to various sectors of the state economy to ensure smooth running of his government with dividends of democracy reaching all the nooks and crannies of the state.
“I therefore want to use this medium to urge people of the state to always put Zamfara first in all their dealings and as well cooperate with the Governor Bello Matawalle-led administration to take the state to its greater height.”
