Governor Idris also revealed plans to simplify the ongoing voter registration process to ensure no eligible citizen is disenfranchised in the 2027 general elections.
The Governor announced a ₦50 million donation to the Zabarmawa community for empowerment and entrepreneurship initiatives.
Speaking at the event, the Minister of Budget and National Planning and former Governor of Kebbi State, Senator Atiku Bagudu, lauded Governor Idris for transforming the infrastructural landscape of the state.
He noted that, the Governor’s achievements have earned him respect at national and international levels.
Earlier, the Sarkin Zabarmawan Besse, Alhaji Bello, who led the delegation, commended the Governor for his support to the association, including the approval of appointments for some Ward and District Heads.
Similarly, the Sarkin Zabarmawan Kebbi and former Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Hon. Samaila Abdulmumin Kamba, hailed the Governor’s remarkable achievements within two years, describing his leadership as transparent and purposeful.
