Khalifah Muhammad Sanusi II, the Emir of Kano, has commended Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal for his administration’s achievements, noting visible improvements across key sectors including healthcare, education, security, and infrastructure.
The Emir gave the commendation on Friday during the commissioning of the rebuilt and equipped Zawiyya Mosque and Islamiyya School in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital.
He said the quality of the project could best be appreciated by those familiar with the mosque’s previous condition, describing the governor’s intervention as commendable.
The Zawiyya is one of the oldest Islamic institutions in Zamfara State, with a long history of producing Islamic scholars in various fields.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Emir said he was familiar with Governor Lawal’s capabilities, having known him since his days in the banking industry.
“I am delighted with this work. May Almighty Allah reward His Excellency. “I can see the good work you are doing in Zamfara State in education, health, security, and infrastructure.
“I am not surprised, as I have known your governor since his days in the banking industry. I know his capabilities, and I am impressed by his performance and happy to see him doing such wonderful work as governor,” he said.
The Emir also urged worshippers and the management of the mosque to maintain cleanliness, describing the mosque as a symbol of Islam.
He stressed the need to keep the facility in good condition to preserve its religious and historical significance.
Earlier, Professor Ibrahim Maqari, in his Friday sermon at the rebuilt mosque, emphasised peaceful coexistence among people and the importance of maintaining cleanliness, particularly in places of worship.
